My Research Activities

My research explores the different channels through which macroeconomic uncertainty impacts real activity. My work contributes - both empirically and theoretically - to this growing field by explicitly addressing the role of macroeconomic uncertainty in explaining business cycles across countries as well as understanding policy implications. In addition to analyzing the impact of uncertainty shocks, I am also interested in behavioral macro-models of learning where the assumption of rational expectations is relaxed.
