Our research team examines macroeconomic issues and their underlying mechanisms through empirical analysis informed by economic theories. Our interests cover several areas, including macro and monetary economics, international economics, applied time-series econometrics, and machine learning. Recently, our work has focused on topics such as monetary policy under data uncertainty, currency choices in international trade, household and corporate credit dynamics, and the impact of economic policy uncertainty on foreign direct investment. We are also interested in exploring time-series forecasting and empirical methods that help us better understand macroeconomic dynamics. Our long-term research agenda centers on investigating the interactions between financial markets and the macroeconomy, the behavior of inflation and unemployment, fluctuations in consumption and investment, the sources of macroeconomic fluctuations, and the use of machine learning in economics.
