Dr Dongna Zhang

My research encompasses a diverse range of areas, including financial economics, energy economics, macro-finance, empirical asset pricing, and corporate finance. Through my research endeavors, I have contributed to understanding the intricacies of the UK under-investment puzzle and has offered valuable policy implications pertaining to industrial strategy. By exploring these multifaceted fields, I aim to deepen our understanding of financial dynamics, energy markets, and economic systems, ultimately providing insights that can inform strategic decision-making, policy formulation, and sustainable economic growth.
