Bailey's research specializations include cross-sectional dependence, factor models, spatial models, and analysis of weak and strong cross-sectional dependence in large panels, applied to finance and macroeconomics. Her publications appear in prominent journals including Journal of Applied Econometrics, Econometric Reviews, and Applied Economics. Key works are 'Measurement of factor strength: theory and practice' (Bailey, Kapetanios, & Pesaran, 2021, Journal of Applied Econometrics), 'Estimation and inference for spatial models with heterogeneous coefficients: an application to US house prices' (Aquaro, Bailey, & Pesaran, 2021, Journal of Applied Econometrics), 'A RMT-based LM test for error cross-sectional independence in large heterogeneous panel data models' (Bailey, Jiang, & Yao, 2022, Econometric Reviews), 'Impact of climate change on agriculture in Australia: an interactive fixed effects model approach' (Bailey, Hochman, Mao, Silvapulle, & Silvapulle, 2025, Applied Economics), 'Exponent of cross-sectional dependence for residuals' (Bailey, Kapetanios, & Pesaran, CESifo Working Paper, 2022), 'Correction to exponent of cross-sectional dependence for residuals' (Bailey, Kapetanios, & Pesaran, 2020, Sankhya B), and 'A two stage approach to spatiotemporal analysis with strong and weak cross-sectional dependence' (Bailey, Holly, & Pesaran, 2014). As Chief Investigator, she led the project 'Big data analytic approach to assessing impacts of harmful temperatures on wheat crops in northern Victoria' (2018-2021), contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 13 (Climate Action).
