Bio/CV:
Non-income financial shocks are a significant cause of economic turmoil for households. Laura Waring and Peter Maxted will study how the processes of household expenditure shocks work on a variety of issues. They will do so first through surveying and then by developing a model of household consumption and saving.
Recent research has shown that inflation disproportionately affects low-income households in both developed and developing countries. Understanding this process is important for creating a monetary policy that effectively responds to rising inequality. Venance Riblier, Laura Waring, and Vitor Weiss Jung will study the long-term effects of the inflation gap on households using Nielsen scanner data.
