My main research focus is on developing theoretical macroeconomic and monetary economic models with frictional markets, and to investigate how different forms of frictions (information, coordination, financial), along with different pricing mechanisms, affect equilibrium market allocations. In particular, such models are suitable to investigate how the equilibrium choice variables such as monetary, asset, consumption, physical and human capital depend on frictions and pricing environments.​​​
