Alexandre N Kohlhas

Alexandre N Kohlhas is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Oxford University. His research focuses on the macroeconomic consequences of belief frictions, particularly how information asymmetries and heterogeneous expectations influence economic outcomes. He collaborates frequently with economists such as T. Broer, K. Mitman, and A. Walther.

His work bridges macroeconomic theory with empirical evidence, exploring topics like optimal information acquisition in heterogeneous-agent models, policy implications of information disclosure, and behavioral aspects of forecasting. Key contributions include analyzing how wealth inequality shapes information-seeking behavior and how central banks' communication affects market expectations.

Notable publications include studies on cautious expectations in dynamic economies, asymmetric attention mechanisms in survey data, and the strategic use of policy instruments over information disclosure. Current projects include 'Safety is Paramount: On the Demand for Safe Assets' and 'Quantifying Imperfect Information.'

His research has been published in top journals like the Journal of Political Economy, American Economic Review, and Review of Economics and Statistics. Collaborations emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to understanding macroeconomic decision-making under imperfect information.
