Professor Lorenza Rossi has published widely on theoretical issues in macroeconomics, monetary economics and firm dynamics, including papers in the Journal of Monetary Economics, the Economic Journal, the Journal of Money Credit and Banking, the European Economic Review, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, the Review of Economic Dynamics, Macroeconomic Dynamics, Economic Letters.

Her research interests are on optimal monetary policy, DSGE models with financial market and labour market frictions, trend inflation, uncertainty, models with firm heteroegeneity and dynamics.

She is currently working with models with firm heterogeneity and dynamics to study the role of uncertainty and changes in inflation expectations at business cycle frequencies, but also structural changes in the labour share, capital intensity and productivity, that have affected the economy in the long-run.
