Theresa Kuchler

Theresa Kuchler is an associate professor of finance at New York University’s Stern School of Business, and a research associate in the NBER’s Corporate Finance Program. She conducts research in the areas of household finance, behavioral finance, and social networks, often involving large micro datasets. 

Specifically, she has studied the role of present bias for debt paydown using transaction- level account data.

Ongoing research further explores the role of social networks in shaping individual decisions.

Prior to attending Stanford, she received a diploma in business economics from the University of Mannheim and spent a year as a Fulbright visiting student in the economics department of the University of California, Berkeley.
