Expertise
Professor Fuster is studying household and real estate finance, banking, and behavioral and experimental economics. He is particularly interested in the effects of technological innovations on household credit markets. For instance, he finds that US Fintech lenders process mortgage applications faster than traditional lenders and are better able to adjust their processing capacities when faced with a demand shock; their loans also exhibit lower default rates. When considering how machine learning will reshape the mortgage market, he finds that credit risk assessments improve, but that the benefits may not accrue to all groups in society equally.
