Vanessa is a macroeconomist interested in analyzing the intersection of monetary & fiscal policy with the wealth distribution, in particular during recessions. Her current work investigates the effects of fiscal stimulus payments on aggregate consumption, specifically focusing on long-term effects. Her job market paper shows that fiscal stimuli are more effective than previously believed when accounting for these non-negligible long-term effects, and that relatively less wealthy households are bigger drivers of the changes in aggregate consumption than previous literature suggested.
