Xiaoyun Tang
ESRC-funded PhD Candidate in Political Economy, King's College London
Economic historian working across archives, text, and data to study banking crises, financial narratives, and information flows in East Asia.
About
My research combines historical archives with natural language processing and econometric analysis to examine how information moved, how anxiety spread, and how financial instability was understood in East Asia between 1881 and 1936. Before joining King's, I completed an MSc in Economic History (Research) at LSE, where I graduated with Distinction, received the Hunt Prize for Best Dissertation, and was awarded a Highly Commended Overall Masters Performance.
