Inga’s research focuses on the varieties of neoliberalism, analyzing how power struggles between central banks and governments shaped fiscal, monetary, and financial reforms in the 1980s. Her work employs institutionalist theories and process tracing to examine advanced market economies, emphasizing the role of "micro-strategies" and domestic institutional power distributions in Germany, the UK, the US, and Japan.

Her publications highlight neoliberal governance trends, including austerity in Germany and Japan, financial deregulation in the UK and US, and the influence of central bank autonomy. She is currently finalizing a book manuscript titled "Central Banks, Power, and the Varieties of Neoliberalism."
