Wentong Chen joins the Leavey School of Business in Fall 2025 as an Assistant Professor of Economics. Her research lies at the intersection of international finance, macroeconomics, and banking, with a particular focus on the pass-through of monetary and foreign exchange shocks and policies across markets. She studies how price and quantity dynamics interact and generate feedback effects, aiming to formally model the frictions and spillovers between markets in environments characterized by various forms of incompleteness and imperfections.
Wentong received her Ph.D. in Economics from Cornell University. She also holds an M.A. in Economics from New York University, an M.P.A. in International Finance Policy from Columbia University, and a B.A. in International Politics and Journalism from Renmin University of China.
