Research Interests: Professor Winters specializes in the intraday dynamics of short-term interest rates, money market mutual fund operations, and regulatory impacts on financial institutions. His work examines liquidity provision mechanisms, crisis responses in banking, and the interplay between monetary policy and market microstructure. Current projects analyze post-pandemic regulatory shifts and behavioral aspects of investor decision-making in volatile markets.

Publication Trends: Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on money market fund regulation, banking crises (including SVB collapse analysis), and discrimination in lending. His empirical work frequently employs event studies and natural experiments, with growing emphasis on pandemic impacts, government shutdown effects, and community bank resilience during disasters. The research bridges theoretical finance with practical regulatory concerns.
