From Micro Beliefs to Macro Risks

Yeow Hwee’s research lies at the intersection of behavioral macroeconomics, household finance, and sustainable finance. He studies how individual beliefs, shaped by information frictions, influence financial behavior and broader macroeconomic outcomes.

A central question drives his work: how do small distortions in expectations scale into systemic risk? Using theory, data, and experiments, he analyzes how household decisions in stock markets, insurance, and housing propagate through the economy. 

His current projects examine the green transition, macroeconomic uncertainty, and policy design in complex information environments.
