Her research explores three primary areas: (1) corporate finance issues using the insurance sector as a setting; (2) the impact of health and flood insurance on households and firms; and (3) the role of insurers as financial intermediaries in capital markets, particularly in hedging climate-related risks. Her work employs rigorous empirical methods, often leveraging exogenous shocks such as weather events to establish causality.
