George Hall's research focuses on macroeconomics and industrial organization. In his recent work he has studied how firms optimally set prices over time to manage their inventories. Hall has shown that these models explain much of the price movements observed in markets as varied as automobiles, steel, and fish. Hall has also worked on properly accounting for the Federal government's cost of borrowing.
