Ph.D. Candidate in Finance
Read the latest draft of my job market paper, "Macroeconomic Extrapolation, Machine Learning, and Equity Risk Premium Forecast". We present the first macroeconomic trend extrapolation approach that utilizes all economic fundamentals of different time periods simultaneously in the aggregate market.
My paper titled "Addressing Systemic Risk Using Contingent Convertible Debt - A Network Analysis", with Aparna Gupta and Runzu Wang, was published at European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR).
I'm a fifth year Finance Ph.D. Candidate at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am on the job market and available for in-person interviews at 2022 FMA in Atlanta.
