Michael Bauer

Visiting Scholar June 2024

My research mainly studies the role of financial markets for the macroeconomy, monetary policy, and the green transition. I am particularly interested in understanding the effects of monetary policy on the yield curve and asset prices—including monetary policy surprises, forward guidance, monetary policy communication, quantitative easing, monetary policy uncertainty, and risks to the economic outlook. More recently I’ve been studying issues in climate economics and climate finance, including the pricing of climate risks.
