Welcome!

​I am Xueliang Wang (pronounced: sh-weh lee-ang). I received my PhD in Economics from the University of California, Irvine, in June 2026.

I will join Johns Hopkins University as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Fall 2026.

Research interests: Monetary Economics, Macro-Finance, and Time Series Econometrics. 

My job market paper, “Time-Varying Market Sensitivity to Macro News and Monetary Policy: The Role of Attention,” estimates how market sensitivity to macroeconomic news varies over time and examines its implications for monetary policy.

I spent the summer of 2024 as a PhD intern at the International Monetary Fund, and the summer of 2025 at the Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research (Hong Kong Monetary Authority). Before PhD, I worked at the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
