Welcome!
My name is Kristy Jansen, Assistant Professor of Finance and Business Economics at USC Marshall, a Research Affiliate at CEPR, and external researcher at 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: Hong Kong University (seminar), Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, seminar), Chinese University Hong Kong (Shenzhen, seminar), Joint Inquire U.K./Europe Conference, Adam Smith Workshop (discussion), HBS Junior Finance Conference, UCLA (seminar), University of Toronto Asset Pricing and Investments Workshop, Conference on Asset Demand Systems, LBS Summer Finance Symposium.
