Hello, I am Dong Xu. 

Welcome to my personal website.

I am a PhD candidate in Finance at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City St George's, University of London.

I do research in empirical corporate finance, focusing on labour, product markets and private equity. My methodological approach incorporates AI and large language model (LLM) techniques to uncover new insights into corporate behavior and market dynamics. 

I am on the 2025-2026 job market. You can find my job market paper here.
