Dr. Ghossoub’s research focuses on Macroeconomics, Monetary Theory, Industrial Organization, Economic Development, and Open Economy Macroeconomics. His work examines how monetary policy interacts with banking sector structure, financial development, and income inequality, with implications for welfare economics, asset pricing, and macroeconomic stability.

The articles and working papers highlight his long-term investigation of monetary policy’s distributional effects, banking competition, financial openness, and economic development. His work spans theoretical modeling (e.g., liquidity risk, capital accumulation) and empirical analysis (e.g., financial market participation, income inequality).
