Hi!
I am an incoming economics PhD student at Princeton University. My research interests include applied econometrics and political economy. Specifically, I want to study how authority shapes individual’s beliefs on critical socioeconomic issues and governance by controlling the narrative, as well as the accompanying consequences of such manipulations.
I was a predoctoral research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School with Professor Marcella Alsan in 2022-2024. Before starting this position, I was a visiting undergraduate student at Harvard and worked as a research assistant at the Harvard Economics Department as well as Harvard Business School. I graduated from Renmin University with a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2022.
My email address is xingyou_ye@princeton.edu. You can also find me on LinkedIn and the Health Inequality Lab. If you have any questions on predoc/PhD applications or want to discuss research in general, please do not hesitate to reach out.
