Wong's research spans financial markets, applied econometrics, risk management, and investment analysis. His primary focus areas include central bank credibility in inflation targeting, quantitative easing efficacy during financial crises, multi-period tail risks, and pension systems. He actively contributes to pension discussions through publications in Times Higher Education, Royal Economic Society Newsletter, and Cardiff Business School blogs.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on financial risk measurement, particularly value-at-risk and tail risk analysis.
