Junyuan Chen
Welcome to my website! I am a postdoctoral researcher in international trade and macroeconomics, studying the transmission of economic shocks along production networks using state-of-the-art dynamic quantitative models. My current research examines the different adjustment margins of importers in response to tariff shocks across time horizons, with a particular emphasis on the role of inventories in shaping the dynamic responses of aggregate trade flows and their welfare implications.
I am on the 2025-2026 job market.
