Petra Vokatá studies how everyday households make financial decisions and how financial firms design products around those behaviors, including complex securities, investment fraud, and private equity access for individual investors. The work combines household finance topics with broader questions about asset pricing and monetary policy, often examining how behavioral biases affect financial outcomes and how financial institutions respond to or exploit them.
