About
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Finance at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University. My primary fields are political economy, economic history, and public economics.
Across projects, I ask a common question: when formal structures of authority move, what actually changes on the ground? Empirically, I work with large-scale administrative data, judicial case records, regulatory texts, and financial market data.
Political Economy, Economic History, Public Economics

Research
My current projects study how institutional reforms reshape screening, financing, adjudication, and risk transmission under imperfect state capacity.
This paper examines a recentralization reform where environmental review authority shifted from county to city governments. We find that instead of simply strengthening capacity, the reform reorganized local protectionism and created selective intermediary chains that retain low-visibility compliance problems.
Uses China’s Long-Term Care Insurance pilot and Gaokao admission data to study how public commitment reshapes healthcare human capital pipelines.
Identifies insurance capital as a shadow financier for local government debt. Using a granular Bartik IV based on liability-side regulatory shocks, I show that insurer yield hunger compresses LGFV credit spreads.
Studies how climate shocks and information contagion amplify systemic risk in opaque insurance markets.
