Marianne Baxter

Marianne Baxter is Professor of Economics at Boston University, specializing in macroeconomics, international finance, and business cycle analysis. Her research examines global economic interactions including risk-sharing mechanisms, consumption-investment dynamics, and pricing strategies in international markets.

Major research streams investigate household consumption patterns across different wealth groups, exchange rate pass-through in retail pricing (notably IKEA case studies), and determinants of bilateral trade flows. Her work integrates theoretical modeling with empirical analysis using firm-level and household datasets.

Professor Baxter teaches international macroeconomics and finance courses. She has contributed methodological frameworks for analyzing saving-investment correlations and terms of trade fluctuations.
