BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH IMPACT
Dr. Yinjunjie Zhang (Jacquelyn) received her PhD in Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M University in 2018. Prior to joining Curtin University in 2025, she held a Fellow position at the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University. Her research sits at the intersection of applied microeconomics and behavioural economics, with a common thread of informing the impacts of public policies on people’s decision-making and preferences. She has established a strong track record of scholarly publications in labour economics, environmental economics, development economics, and experimental economics. Her paper has been recognised with the 2024 Kuznets Prize and has attracted broader media attention.
