Biography
I am a Senior Economist in the Economic Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. My responsibilities at the Fed are conducting macroeconomic research, forecasting the U.S. economy and the global economy, and evaluating monetary policies. I received my M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University, and earned a Double Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Mathematics from Wuhan University in China. In 2007-2008 I taught courses in Intermediate Macroeconomics and Statistics at New York University as an instructor. In the summer of 2008 I was a dissertation intern at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In spring 2017, I was a research fellow at the People's Bank of China.
My current research interest includes three areas. The first one is to examine, both theoretically and empirically, the implications of model uncertainty (due to robustness, Hansen and Sargent 2007) and imperfect information (due to rational inattention, Sims 2003) for macroeconomics. In the second area, heterogeneous-agent models are combined with micro data to quantitatively study labor-market policies. The third research area focuses on the Chinese economy and its implications for the global economy.
