Dr Jinghui Yu (JING-hway YU — "Yu" rhymes with French tu)

I am a Statistician on the UKRI-funded project A Multi-Dimensional Understanding of the Digital Far Right at Lancaster University, where I develop, test and evaluate statistical methods for analysing zero-inflated and sparse multivariate data. 

I hold a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics from Lancaster University, with research expertise in international macroeconomics, technology diffusion and productivity, and a strong foundation in applied econometrics and time-series methods. My work has been presented to the UK Department for Business and Trade and NIESR, and I bring eight years of teaching experience in economics across undergraduate and high-school research programmes, alongside an Associate Fellowship of Advance HE (AFHEA).

My research interests are:

• International Macroeconomics

• Technology Diffusion and Productivity

• Innovation Policy

• Applied Econometrics
