Linwei MaGraduate Studentshe/her/hers

I am a PhD student in Consumer Behavior & Family Economics. My research lies at the intersection of household economics, labor market, public policy, and behavioral economics.

Using applied empirical methods, I study how work-related and policy-induced instability — such as unpredictable work schedules — shapes household financial well-being, mental health, and decision-making, with a particular focus on vulnerable families.
