Yu is a PhD job market candidate in the Department of Economics. He is also affiliated with the Centre for Macroeconomics. 

His major research interest lies in macro-finance theory, especially the macro implications of interaction between bank concentration and bank capital. In his job market paper, he finds that the impact of bank concentration on risk taking heavily depends on whether the bank capital constraint is binding.

Yu holds an MSc (with Distinction) in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from LSE, a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Mathematics from Wuhan University. In 2022, he visited Peking University HSBC Business School as a visiting PhD student. He has taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in micro/macroeconomics, econometrics, and corporate finance at LSE and UCL.
