Dr. Kilian’s work in empirical macroeconomics and in international finance includes topics such as the stagflation of the 1970s, the specification of monetary policy rules, household inflation expectations, the quantification of deflation risks, the role of sticky prices in business cycle models, the transmission of regional shocks to housing markets, and tests of exchange rate models.
