Zhengyang Jiang

Overview I am an Assistant Professor of Finance. I work on international finance and macroeconomics.

My main line of inquiry is about the role of government in the provision of currencies and safe assets. Using asset pricing and corporate finance tools, I seek to ask questions like "Are there exchange rate and real consequences of government borrowing?" and "How much government borrowing is too much?" in an informed way.

A related topic is how the financial sector intermediates the provision of currencies and safe assets, and how the monetary policy affects this intermediation.

In the broader field, I also work on the asset pricing implications of international trade and portfolio allocation.
