Mary is a macroeconomist whose research focuses on understanding how deviations from full information rational expectations as well as wealth and income inequality, found in micro-level data, affect the macro economy and which role monetary policy plays in responding to the challenges. She has explored these questions by developing theoretical general equilibrium models while sometimes also using micro-level data and empirics. Her current work analyses how much of business cycle effects are accounted by behavioral and information frictions in the form of heterogeneous household expectations. Further, she is also interested in developing time series models to analyze macro economic dynamics and monetary policy in a new way. In Fall 2025 she joined St Hugh’s College as Fellow by Resolution in Macroeconomics.
Before joining St Hugh’s, Mary completed her PhD in Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt in 2025.
