Dr. Ron Mau is broadly interested in the impact of monetary policy on the financial sector in the United States. His work focuses on the impact of Federal Reserve asset purchases, a prominent feature of US monetary policy for the past decade, on lending rates. Asset purchases change household demand for debt-financed expenditures. His work also addresses how this interaction of monetary policy and finance affects standard macroeconomic results related to fiscal policy and asset purchases’ impact on household inequality.
