Qingyu Chen
Hello! I am a DPhil (PhD) student in Economics at the University of Oxford and Nuffield College. I am also affiliated with the Center of the Studies of African Economies (CSAE).
My research interests lie in Trade, Development, and Spatial Economics. Specifically, I study the impact of trade in developing countries and how these countries use trade policies to promote economic development.
I hold an MPhil in Economics (with distinction) also from the University of Oxford, and a BA in Financial Economics from Peking University.
My CV is available here.
