About
Hello, welcome to my faculty page! My name is Jingxuan Zhang. I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Department of Finance of Alberta School of Business. I obtained my Ph.D. in Finance degree from Boston College in 2023. Prior to that, I held my M.Phil. in Finance and Economics degree from the University of Cambridge (UK), and dual bachelor degrees in economics and finance from both the University of Birmingham (UK) and the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (China). My research interests are broadly in empirical corporate finance, with a special focus on corporate innovation, entrepreneurial finance, venture capital, and initial public offerings (IPOs).
