His career includes research roles at the National Bank of Belgium and the European Central Bank.
Professor Kara's research focuses on models of sticky prices, heterogeneity in price stickiness, optimal monetary and fiscal policy, trend inflation, and the macroeconomics of aging populations. His work bridges theoretical macroeconomics with practical policy implications, particularly in understanding inflation dynamics and monetary policy transmission mechanisms.
His publication record includes articles in top economics journals such as the Journal of Monetary Economics, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, and the Canadian Journal of Economics. His research shows a clear progression from foundational work on price rigidity and monetary policy to more recent work incorporating climate change considerations into macroeconomic modeling.

- Four papers cited in the most recent issue of the Handbook of Macroeconomics
- One paper cited in the Handbook of Monetary Economics
- One paper cited by Jean-Claude Trichet (2007)
Professor Kara has supervised several PhD students to successful placements at institutions including the IMF, Bristol University, and the Bank of Korea. He has received research funding and consultancy opportunities from prestigious organizations including the International Monetary Fund and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for his work on climate change macroeconomics.
His current research focuses on the intersection of climate change and macroeconomics, particularly examining the macroeconomic implications of climate shocks within the context of aging populations.
