Doctoral research
Jingyi's research explores the similarities and variations in the financialisation process within emerging economies, with a keen focus on understanding how finance influences growth and steers development. She gives particular attention to the financialisation of China's non-financial corporates, investigating its effects on physical investments and the distribution of income.
