Professor Mitchener’s research focuses on international economics, macroeconomics, monetary economics, and economic history. His research in monetary economics examines how banking supervision and regulation influence financial stability and how national capital markets emerge. His work in international economics explores why countries adopt fixed exchange rate systems, how fixed exchange rates impact sovereign debt spreads, how sovereign debt claims are enforced, and how empires, currency unions, and fixed exchange rate systems impact trade flows between countries. In macroeconomics, Professor Mitchener’s research analyzes the impact of credit booms on aggregate output and the process of economic growth and convergence within the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries.  |
