Welcome to my website!

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Victoria. My work focuses on sustainable finance, impact investing, portfolio optimization, and cryptocurrency. My job market paper develops an SDG-efficient frontier that integrates firms’ revenue alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into portfolio optimization, quantifying the trade-offs between financial performance and real-world impact.

I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market. You can find my job market paper here and my CV here. I can be reached at mengxiayu@uvic.ca.
