It pays special attention to the way in which macroeconomic risks and policy actions interact with the firm-level decision process. The group employs a range of different qualitative and quantitative methods in conducting its research. The group also studies the way in which financial markets affect the economic performance of national economies and the optimal ways for managing financial risks to reduce their negative impact on these economies.
