Wei Cui

Wei Cui is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at University College London (UCL). His research focuses on macroeconomics and financial economics, exploring topics such as capital reallocation, liquidity frictions, wealth distribution, and policy design. He serves as an Associate Editor for the Economic Journal.

His work examines the interplay between financial markets and macroeconomic outcomes, with a particular emphasis on how liquidity constraints, capital dynamics, and policy interventions shape economic stability and growth. Key themes include the effects of quantitative easing, default cycles, and the fiscal theory of price levels in low-interest-rate environments.

Cui’s research has contributed to understanding delayed capital liquidation, heterogeneous agent models, and sovereign-bank interlinkages. His findings inform debates on optimal monetary and fiscal policies, particularly in addressing market frictions and systemic risks.
