Her work spans real estate economics, consumer finance, and information economics, often employing quasi-natural experiments and innovative datasets. She has published in top-tier journals including the American Economic Review, Journal of Financial Economics, and Management Science, with research that bridges theoretical finance and practical policy implications.
