The Macroeconomics Research Group strives to produce high-quality research that provides new insights into policy-relevant problems. The group’s research centers on identifying the causes and consequences of economic fluctuations and evaluating the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies in promoting macroeconomic stability and economic equality. The group employs various quantitative methods, including structural macroeconomic models for simulation studies and time series and panel data analysis to examine macroeconomic data.
