Associate Professor of Economics and Finance

Dr. Sherry Yu is an applied macroeconomist specializing in monetary economics and the Chinese economy. She is currently an Associate Professor of Economics and Finance at New College of Florida. Dr. Yu received her PhD in Economics from Boston University, where her research focused on banking regulation, monetary policy, and financial contagion. She is specifically interested in examining the roles of traditional and unconventional monetary policy on asset prices, as well as their impact on financial market movements, exchange rate fluctuations and income inequality. Her latest project studies the recent trends in the US-China trade relationship and hopes to offer some insights on the future economic ties under the new administration. 

I believe Economics is the art of allocating scarce resources efficiently and effectively, and it therefore touches every aspect of the decision making process in this society. I am passionate about giving students the tools to make better decisions to benefit themselves, and the community at large.
