Chari's research centers on international finance with emphases on emerging market vulnerabilities, global capital flows, and financial stability mechanisms. Her work examines how monetary policy shocks transmit through global financial cycles, the dynamics of risk-on/risk-off episodes, and regulatory frameworks for banking crises. Recent expansions include gender representation analysis within economics academia, revealing systemic disparities through NBER Summer Institute participation data. This research portfolio bridges theoretical finance with real-world policy applications, particularly in crisis contexts like the Puerto Rican debt restructuring and COVID-19 market responses. Publication trends reveal consistent focus on tail-risk analysis in emerging markets, evolving from corporate debt vulnerabilities (2017-2019) to sophisticated modeling of extreme capital flow events (2020-2023). Her work increasingly integrates gender dimensions into financial stability research while maintaining technical rigor in measuring global risk transmission mechanisms. The Annual Review of Economics acceptance (2023) underscores recognition of her framework connecting non-bank financial intermediation to emerging market fragility. Professional leadership extends beyond CSWEP chairmanship to active participation in Federal Reserve research forums and Brookings Institution initiatives. Her advisory capacity includes high-impact roles such as the President's Council of Economic Advisers (2024), where her expertise on international spillovers informs domestic policy.
