Yimei Zou

Yimei Zou is an Assistant Professor at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) at Stockholm University since September 2018.

Her research interests lie broadly in international economics and macroeconomics. Her current work focuses on the formation of production networks and input-output linkages among producers. She investigates the trade-offs firms face when establishing intermediate input relationships and examines how these endogenous production networks affect welfare gains from trade and economic growth.

Her research combines theoretical and empirical approaches to understand how production networks form and function within the global economy, with implications for trade policy and economic development.
