Pratiti Chatterjee's research interests encompass Macroeconomics, International Economics, and Econometrics, with a particular emphasis on interaction effects in the macroeconomy driven by financial frictions, stochastic volatility, and deviations from rational expectations models. Her recent investigations explore the sentiment channel of monetary policy transmission and business cycle asymmetries across countries. Key research expertise includes Monetary Economics, Financial Markets, Financial Frictions, and Macro-Finance.
