I am Ting-yao, or Ethan. I am a PhD candidate in economics at the University of Kentucky. My research is focused on the intersection of macroeconomics and financial economics. My current research focuses on the impact of bank competition on the reallocation of credit.

I am expected to complete my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Kentucky in 2026. Prior to my doctoral studies, I received my Master's of Science in Economics from the Tufts University in 2021, and a B.S. in Economics from the National Central University (Taiwan) in 2015.
