Jiu Lian (廉九)
PhD Candidate, The Australian National University
I am a PhD candidate at the Research School of Economics, Australian National University, supervised by A/Prof. Cagri Kumru (Chair), Prof. Petr Sedláček, and Prof. Monisankar Bishnu.
My research investigates the drivers of economic inequality and their policy implications using quantitative macroeconomic models. I study how crime activity and labor income shocks contribute to low asset holdings among the poor, while also examining the heterogeneity of wealth accumulation paths and optimal taxation schemes for the wealthiest households.
I am happy to announce that I will join School of Economics, Zhejiang University as assistant professor (tenure-track) from September 2026.
