Mengwei LIN

My name is Mengwei Lin. I am a PhD candidate at the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB), where I work with Andreu Arenas and Jenifer Ruiz-Valenzuela, from Spring 2023. I am also attending the Swiss Leading House's PhD Course Program in Economics of Education at the University of Zurich.

My interests lie in the Economics of Education, as well as Public, Labor and Demographic Economics; on the method side, I do causal inference, and am starting some structural adventures. I am also a popularization article writer & certified translator.

Prior to Barcelona, I worked at the China Development Institute (CDI, Public Policy Research Center, with WANG Mei) and as a book translator, after obtaining my Masters in Economics (with Distinction) from the SGPE Programme at The University of Edinburgh.

My first name "Mengwei" (孟蔚) has two syllables, meng (IPA: /məng/, audio here) and wei (as the word "way").
