Juanxi’s research combines theoretical insight with empirical, data-driven analysis to examine financial markets, behavioural finance, and the dynamics of financial systems shaped by the interaction between investors, firms, information, and regulation. Her work focuses on financial market instability, investor and corporate behaviour, and the role of behavioural biases, information, technology innovation and regulation in shaping market outcomes, firm performance, and capital allocation.

Methodologically, she applies a range of quantitative and computational approaches, including agent-based modelling, panel data analysis, time-series analysis, and many other econometrics techniques to analyse complex financial and economic systems.

Her current research interests include:

• Behavioural finance and investor decision-making
• Financial market dynamics and instability
• Artificial intelligence and innovation in finance
• Green finance, ESG investment, and financial regulation
• Information, expectations, and market outcomes

Her recent research examines how technological innovation, particularly artificial intelligence and green finance, is reshaping firm behaviour, capital allocation, and financial market dynamics.

Juanxi’s research is interdisciplinary and policy-oriented, combining economics, finance, technology, and behavioural analysis to examine how innovation, information, regulation, and investor behaviour shape financial markets, market stability, and capital allocation. She has developed a strong and growing research profile, with publications that are REF-eligible and strategically positioned for high-quality REF submission. Her work has been published in respected peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences, engaging academic, industry, and policy audiences.

Juanxi also serves as a reviewer for several leading journals, including International Review of Economics and Finance, British Accounting Review, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Emerging Markets Finance and Trade, PLOS, and Physica A.

She has secured both internal and external funding for research and collaborative projects, demonstrating the impact and practical relevance of her work. Her research contributes to financial regulation, governance, and risk management, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence, innovation, and green finance.
