At Haas, Kekre will teach Empirical Asset Pricing for doctoral students in the spring term and core finance for MBA students in the fall.
His research is centered on questions at the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, with particular emphasis on international finance, including the drivers of exchange rates and interest rates, the transmission of monetary policy through financial markets, and the role of the United States in the global financial system.
His work has been published in leading journals such as the American Economic Review, Econometrica, and the Review of Economic Studies.
A native of Rochester, New York, Kekre spent several years in management consulting before embarking on an academic career. He held faculty positions at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business from 2016 through 2025, serving first as an assistant professor and later as an associate professor of economics.
Prior to that, he worked as a business analyst at McKinsey & Company and as a summer analyst at Goldman Sachs.
Kekre will also be associated with the National Bureau of Economic Research as a faculty research fellow, reflecting his ongoing engagement with the broader academic research community.
Kekre holds a doctorate in business economics, a master’s degree in statistics, and a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics from Harvard University.
