Yan Wang

I am an economist specializing in macroeconomics, macro-finance, financial stability, and climate economics. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics at American University and also work as a consultant at the World Bank Group, where I lead research on the macroeconomic impacts of climate change, develop diagnostic tools, and contribute to global macro-financial risk assessment. Since May 2022, I have been involved in the China Economic Policy Uncertainty Project, applying NLP technology to manage data collection and analysis aimed at understanding economic policy uncertainty. I hold an MPA from Columbia University and am proficient in Python, MATLAB, Dynare, R, STATA, and NetLogo. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to the field of economics and welcome opportunities for collaboration. Additionally, beyond my professional work, I am committed to non-profit initiatives, with a keen interest in AI and early childhood education in under-resourced areas.
