Research Focus: Mihalache's work examines how sovereign default risk shapes economic outcomes through multiple transmission channels including debt maturity structures, capital accumulation patterns, and sectoral reallocations. His recent COVID-19 related research analyzes interactions between public health crises, financial frictions, and sovereign debt sustainability in emerging markets.
