Wei Jiang's research focuses on macroeconomic theory and policy, with emphasis on dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models, business cycle analysis, fiscal and monetary policy interactions, and optimal taxation. She employs advanced computational and mathematical techniques to analyze heterogeneous agent models, union bargaining, and search-and-matching frictions in labor markets. Her recent work explores intergenerational mobility and the Great Gatsby Curve.
The most recent publications reflect a strong trajectory in macroeconomic modeling with applications to climate change, tax reform, and labor market dynamics. Her work integrates theoretical rigor with policy-relevant insights, particularly in the context of market distortions and welfare implications.
