Yishu Zeng is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at York University. Her research interests focus on microeconomic theory, information economics, and game theory. Specifically, she is working on understanding the impact of strategic information transmissions on shaping agents’ interactions. She also studies how information intermediaries’ interactions, such as their competitions, could affect the market information and its outcome. Her works shed light on the design of information policies and the regulation of market participants’ behaviours from an informational perspective. In addition, she develops tools and simplification techniques that facilitate the understanding of the theoretical structure of optimal information policy and equilibria in various economic settings.
