Biography
I am Yirong Wang. I am a PhD Candidate in Finance at the University of Bristol, Business School (from Oct 2021), where I have been fully funded by the School’s PhD Scholarship. My research interests lie in empirical asset pricing, and international finance, macro-finance, with a particular emphasis on risk-based explanations for variations in asset prices across international markets.
I hold a research master’s degree in Advanced Studies in Economics and a master’s degree in Business Economics from KU Leuven, Belgium, and a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Warsaw, Poland. I was born and raised in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, China, where my favorite foods are pilaf and naan.
I will be on the job market in 2025–26.
My upcoming trips:
EURO-FIDAI Paris December 2025; AFA in Philadelphia 2026
