Dr. Jing Zhao is an Associate Professor in the Finance Department at La Trobe University, where she has been since July 2010. Her research focuses on asset pricing, behavioral finance, executive compensation, corporate social responsibility, and the dynamics of financial markets. She holds a BSc from Fudan University (Shanghai, China), and both an MPhil and PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shatin, Hong Kong).
- BSc in [Undisclosed Discipline], Fudan University
- MPhil in [Undisclosed Discipline], Chinese University of Hong Kong
- PhD in [Undisclosed Discipline], Chinese University of Hong Kong
Her work explores how investor behavior, corporate governance structures, and regulatory mechanisms influence financial market outcomes. For instance, she investigates how executive pay disparities affect debt costs, how circuit breakers impact market stability, and how limited investor attention during crises shapes stock reactions. Her research often employs rigorous quantitative methods, leveraging data from institutions like the ARC.
Her articles span topics such as ETF dynamics, systemic risk, and dividend policies. These publications reflect a consistent focus on linking microeconomic behaviors (e.g., institutional overconfidence) to macroeconomic market effects (e.g., volatility contagion). Notably, her work on ETFs and ex-dividend taxation demonstrates interdisciplinary depth, combining financial instrument analysis with tax policy implications.
