Yue Dai
Yue graduated with a PhD in Economics from Swansea University and she is currently on the job market. Her doctoral research investigates the cultural, social, and political forces that shape the socioeconomic lives and choices of Chinese individuals, particularly in relation to their consumption behavior.
Building on her PhD project and drawing insights from sociology, her current research interests focus on understanding how inequality originates from societal structures and how it affects socioeconomic progress, using quantitative research methods. Additionally, Yue aims to explore the inherent factors that influence human needs, incentives, motivations which determine socioeconomic choices and outcomes. To gain a deeper understanding why individuals prefer certain options, she also employs mixed research methods, including interviews to provide additional insights and evidence.
