Dr Mary Tzaawa-Krenzler joined St Hugh’s College as Fixed-Term Fellow by Resolution in Macroeconomics in Michaelmas Term 2025. 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 behavioural 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.
Mary holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Bern and has recently completed PhD in Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt.
