Qingyuan Du

Dr. Qingyuan Du is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Monash University. He holds a PhD from Columbia University (2011) and specializes in international economics and macroeconomics, with a focus on China's economic dynamics. His research addresses global imbalances, exchange rate policies, labor markets, and the interplay between demographic factors and economic outcomes.

Current research projects include an ARC-funded study on 'Implications of Global Economic Forces for Domestic Monetary Policy' (2024–2027), where he serves as a Chief Investigator alongside experts like Ben J. Wong. His work combines theoretical modeling with empirical analysis, exploring topics like exchange rate pass-through mechanisms, non-rational beliefs in open economies, and the effects of labor market flexibility on real exchange rates.

Key contributions include analyzing portfolio investment patterns using gravity models and investigating how demographic imbalances (e.g., sex ratios) influence savings rates and global capital flows. His research bridges theoretical frameworks with applied econometrics, offering insights into policy design in developing and emerging economies.
