Professor Skreta's main research contributions are in mechanism design and limited commitment, an area that presents special difficulties where the celebrated revelation principle is inapplicable. She has published on various aspects of mechanism design, notably in mechanism selection and informed principal settings, illustrating how these mechanisms interact with markets and create mechanism-dependent options. Her work highlights the potential stigma firms face when participating in government assistance programs and includes a cited paper on the optimal design of industries that produce information, particularly regarding credit rating agencies and certification intermediaries. Additionally, she has studied new high-frequency data in surveys of professional forecasters to investigate how the design of surveys employed by central banks impacts the quality of forecasts. Empirically and theoretically, she has explored the role of constitutional immunity provisions for elected officials, underscoring the importance of constitutional design for well-functioning checks and balances in modern democracies.
