Palloni's research focuses on topics in consumer finance, labor, public, and development economics. His ongoing projects include work exploring the determinants and implications of decreases in the availability of small mortgages in the United States, an investigation of how the HOPE VI Revitalization program affected the credit health and credit use of consumers as well as financial institutions' decisions about where to locate and offer financial services, and a paper estimating how the HOPE Revitalization program affected neighborhood poverty exposure and subsidized renter households' decisions about where to live. In development economics, Palloni has ongoing work exploring how information and resource transfers affect individual welfare and the intrahousehold decision-making process.
