Professor Dr. Christoph G?rtz research focus lies in the area of business cycle analysis at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance. In this context, he examines, for example, the role of technological, financial, or monetary policy shocks on business cycles, as well as the effects of policy decisions on households, banks, and firms. Expectations of these economic actors are fundamental to their economic decisions. Accordingly, future expectations and their impact on macroeconomics play an important role in his research.
