About Me

My primary field of research is international finance and macroeconomics. I study exchange rates, capital flows, the valuation and sustainability of public debt, and the architecture of the international monetary system. I am also interested in the cognitive process underlying expectation formation and financial decision-making.

My research has been published at peer-reviewed journals including Econometrica, Review of Economics Studies, Journal of Finance, Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Monetary Economics, Management Science, and IMF Economic Review, and published as invited contributions at American Economic Association, Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, Annual Review of Financial Economics, and Peterson Foundation. My research has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, and cited in the Annual Report the Council of Economic Advisers.

I received my Ph.D. in finance from Stanford Graduate School of Business, and my bachelor degree in math and business economics from California Institute of Technology. View my [Curriculum Vitae] and [Department Profile].

My lecture notes on international finance are [available on SSRN].

It aims to introduce readers to the field of international finance and macroeconomics, and targets the audience who has done first-year graduate school coursework in either macroeconomics or asset pricing. Topics cover exchange rates, capital allocation, market frictions, public debt, the dollar standard, and more.
