Research
Juanxi’s research combines theoretical insight with empirical analysis drawing on data-driven approaches and real-world industry perspectives. Her research focuses on financial markets, behavioural finance, and the ways in which individuals and organisations make decisions under risk and uncertainty. She investigates topics such as market efficiency, instability of financial market, investor behaviour, and the behavioural drivers behind financial and corporate decisions. She is also engaged in applied and collaborative research, contributing economic expertise to business strategy, innovation projects, and policy-oriented studies. Her current research interests include the role of information in shaping economic outcomes and behavioural biases in financial decision-making. Her recent projects explore how innovation reshapes financial markets, particularly the impact of artificial intelligence and green finance on the movement and allocation of capital.
Research impact
The significance of Juanxi’s research lies in its interdisciplinary nature and strong policy relevance, bridging economics, finance, and technology to produce findings that have meaningful impact on both academic scholarship and industry practice. Juanxi has published extensively in top peer-reviewed academic journals and is a frequent contributor to national and international conferences, sharing insights with scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. In addition, Juanxi serves as a reviewer for several respected journals, including British Accouting review , Technology forecasting and social change , Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Emerging Markets Finance and Trade, PLOS, and Physica A, among others, reflecting active engagement in maintaining the quality and integrity of global research. Her research provides evidence that informs the development of regulatory frameworks and supports more effective financial governance. This work enables regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders to anticipate risks, design safeguards, and foster sustainable financial systems that balance innovation with stability.
