Merike Kukk

Merike Kukk serves as a Visiting Faculty member in the Department of Finance, focusing on macroeconomic phenomena with emphasis on inflation dynamics and household financial behavior.

Her research centers on Inflation (100% fingerprint weight), Inflation Rate, Small Open Economy modeling, Fixed Effects methodologies, and Inflation Expectations. She investigates how personal exposure to inflation shapes household financial decision-making, bridging microeconomic behavior with macroeconomic policy implications through empirical analysis of behavioral responses.

Her 2025 publication in the Journal of Monetary Economics demonstrates consistent focus on inflation transmission mechanisms in small open economies, utilizing fixed effects models to analyze household-level data. This work establishes connections between inflation experiences and financial choices across multiple economic subfields.
