Job Market Paper: The Pre-FOMC Drift and the Secular Decline in Long-term Interest Rates
Introduction: I am a seventh-year Ph.D. student at SAIF. My research focuses on asset pricing, U.S. Treasury bonds, monetary policy, and the Chinese stock market. I have a strong passion for conducting empirical research to understand the intersection of asset pricing, macro-finance, and political policy, with a central focus on how financial markets anticipate and price the uncertainty associated with market-moving events such as Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings in the U.S. and top government meetings in China.

Job Market Paper: Judicial Constraints and Expropriation Risk in Local Government Procurement Contracts: A Capital Market-Based Inference
Introduction:
My research lies at the intersection of Corporate Finance, Organizational and Political Economics. I seek to understand how institutional frictions, arising from political incentives, judicial structures, and financial intermediation, shape firm behavior and economic development in emerging markets, particularly China.
I study how political and judicial frictions influence firm behavior and capital markets, how incentive misalignments within China’s multi-layered government distort policy implementation, and how frictions in financial intermediation affect resource allocation, industrial structure, and long-term growth. Collectively, my work aims to shed light on the institutional foundations of China’s economic transformation and the broader link between finance, governance, and development.
