Jinghui Yu
Doctoral Research Associate, PhD studentResearch Overview
My research interests are: International Macroeconomics, Innovation and Trade. Particularly, my research focuses on topics such as global technology diffusion, labor market dynamics, and the role of trade in productivity spillovers.
My PhD thesis develops a novel measure of global technology shocks to examine how trade exposure, borrowing capacity, and labor mobility shape labor market responses and economic gains from technological advancements across countries. Currently, I investigate technology news shocks using a patent-based world technology news index to analyse how expectations of global innovation influence domestic productivity, trade dynamics, and labor market adjustments.
