Biography

Margaret joined King's Business School as a Lecturer in Economics in October 2022. She was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Lausanne (HEC) and earned her PhD from the University of St. Gallen in 2018. Margaret is a macroeconomist specializing in International Macroeconomics and Economic Growth. Her research broadly examines the drivers and macroeconomic consequences of international capital flows. Specifically, her work synthesizes elements of household investor behavior, including slow portfolio adjustment, limited asset market participation, and non-rational expectations. She incorporates realistic features such as labor income shocks into structural macroeconomic models, focusing on international portfolio choice. Her research aims to understand the significant international investments in the global economy and their implications for market prices, exchange rates, real rates of return, and economic well-being. Margaret is currently accepting new PhD students.
