Chang He is an economist working in the field of international finance and macroeconomics. She studies the determinants of exchange rates and sovereign risks and how they shape the cross-border movements of financial assets. Understanding these issues is crucial for designing effective monetary and fiscal policies in an open economy. Much of her work connects macroeconomic theory with rich micro-level data to empirically verify theoretical mechanisms.

Chang He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, (2024). While at UCLA, she was a summer intern with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2021 and was a dissertation fellow at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in the summer of 2023. Prior to attending UCLA, she received her M.S. and B.S. in economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science. 

She will be teaching intermediate macroeconomics this fall and a graduate international finance course in the next academic year.
