Welcome!
My name is Kristy Jansen, Assistant Professor of Finance and Business Economics at USC Marshall and affiliated with the Dutch Central Bank.*
My research interests are non-bank financial intermediation, asset pricing, and macro-finance. Specifically, I aim to understand the drivers of institutional investors’ asset demand and the role they play in financial markets. A central focus of my recent work is how asset demand—and the influence of policy interventions—affect U.S. and global Treasury market dynamics.
Additionally, I study pension funds as a specific class of institutional investors, focusing on how increasing cash constraints shape their asset demand and feed back into financial markets.
Upcoming events: Fed-WashU Olin Macrofinance Workshop (St. Louis), NBER-OFR meeting (D.C.), Q Group Fall Seminar (Dana Point, CA), CEPR Asset Pricing Symposium (Paris).
