Research Interests: Professor Mitra’s work focuses on macroeconomic policy analysis, adaptive learning models, and the implications of non-rational expectations. He investigates how economic agents form expectations and how these influence policy outcomes, particularly in contexts like fiscal austerity, inflation targeting, and monetary policy inertia. His contributions include studies on price-level targeting mechanisms, labor market dynamics under uncertainty, and the nonlinear effects of fiscal policy interventions.
Publications: His research spans topics such as fiscal multipliers in stochastic models, long-run growth uncertainty, and the role of expectations in economic stagnation. Key areas include the analysis of policy regimes, forward guidance, and the stability of economic systems under heterogeneous learning rules.
