She employs sophisticated econometric techniques, including Bayesian VAR models with time-varying parameters and stochastic volatility, to analyze economic phenomena. Her work often focuses on how financial markets respond to economic shocks and policy interventions, with particular attention to the Swedish economy and its integration into the global financial system. Analysis of Professor Alexius's publication record reveals a consistent focus on the intersection of monetary policy and international finance. Her recent work (2023) examines exchange rate pass-through during periods of high inflation following the Covid-19 pandemic and Ukraine war, using advanced Bayesian VAR techniques. Earlier publications explore long-run relationships between stock prices and GDP (2018), interbank market dynamics during the financial crisis (2014), and the relationship between exchange rates and long-term bonds (2012). A recurring theme throughout her career has been understanding how policy decisions affect economic outcomes in open economies.
