Research interests

Nitin’s research revolves around the dynamic macroeconomic effects of disaggregated/granular heterogeneities. He is interested in identifying shocks using and estimating dynamic reactions using Local Projections. He also works on formalizing empirical findings on dynamic causality within small-scale, stock-flow consistent models.

The first chapter of his research examines the implications of rising non-financial corporate cash holdings for monetary policy transmission. The second examines how energy export booms transmit to emerging market domestic macrofinancial outcomes through country level (mutual or ETF) fund flows.

More broadly, he is interested in combining research on and to formulate a more realistic theory of portfolio choice where asset demand and liability supply (issue) functions are conditional on the nature of the investor, balance sheet characteristics, corporate governance and the properties of financial instruments. In a world where financial structures and asset markets increasingly shape real economic outcomes, such an approach provides a necessary foundation for modern macroeconomic models.
