Michèle Tertilt’s research concentrates on macroeconomics with a special focus on development and intra-family interactions. Her work has been published in top journals, including the American Economic Review, Econometrica, the Journal of Political Economy, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, and the Review of Economic Studies [6]. She has also worked on consumer credit and bankruptcies. Her research has been financed by an European Research Council -Starting Grant (2013-2018) [7], through a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant (2008-2011) [8], a Sloan Research Fellowship (2009-2011) and a NSF grant (2005-2008)[9].
Michèle Tertilt made important contributions to family economics and household finance. Her work has uncovered the salient implications of gender roles for macroeconomics, development, and fertility. Her research has also contributed to the understanding of the development of consumer credit markets and default rates.[10] Joint with Matthias Doepke, she wrote the chapter "Families in Macroeconomics" for the “Handbook of Macroeconomics,” [11]. This chapter sheds light on "the importance of gender inequality and family dynamics for macro and points to many fruitful avenues for future research", she said in an interview with the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group (HCEO).[12]
