Hongqiang Yan
Hongqiang Yan is a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at North Carolina State University, specializing in econometrics and agricultural economics. His research interests revolve around high-dimensional econometrics, with a particular focus on the high-dimensional threshold regression model. As part of his dissertation work, Hongqiang demonstrates how asymptotically uniformly valid inference can be conducted within the framework of the high-dimensional threshold regression model. Furthermore, Hongqiang’s research includes an empirical study on integration and exchange rate pass-through in world maize markets, utilizing the high-dimensional threshold regression model. Prior to pursuing his Ph.D., Hongqiang obtained a Master’s degree from Texas A&M University and a Bachelor’s degree from Beijing Jiaotong University.
