Michael Weber's research focuses on how people and financial markets understand and react to inflation and monetary policy, including how households form expectations about prices, how they trade and manage wealth during inflationary periods, and how central banks communicate with a divided public. His work combines economic theory with survey and experimental data to study topics like business cycle costs, central bank credibility, and perceptions of political bias at institutions such as the Federal Reserve.
