Kuchler’s research centers on household and firm behavior under various macroeconomic conditions, particularly in low- and negative-interest-rate environments. His work spans applied econometrics, banking, consumption heterogeneity, pension economics, and the impact of monetary policy. He has extensively studied the effects of negative deposit rates on corporate investment, household savings, and pension wealth, contributing key insights into macroeconomic stability and financial resilience.

His recent publications reveal a strong focus on empirical microdata analysis, particularly register-based studies from Denmark, and examine topics such as consumption smoothing, debt accumulation, and housing demand shifts during the pandemic. He frequently collaborates with central bank researchers and contributes to policy-oriented outputs through Danmarks Nationalbank’s analysis and economic memos.

Kuchler has been actively involved in several high-level academic and policy networks, including the ECB’s Household Finance and Consumption Network, CompNet, and has presented at institutions such as the European Central Bank, Deutsche Bundesbank, and Banque de France. He has also served as a referee for journals including Economic Inquiry, Journal of Macroeconomics, and Scandinavian Journal of Economics.

He has taught and supervised students in data analysis, econometrics, and thesis writing at the University of Southern Denmark since 2009. Though not a full-time faculty member, his sustained academic engagement through teaching, publishing, and supervision confirms his role in the academic community.

Notable labs and research teams he contributes to include:

• Household Finance and Consumption Network (ECB)
• Competitiveness Research Network (CompNet)
