From Jan
2013: Yue Ma will be Chair Professor in Finance,
Department of Economics and Finance, City University of Hong Kong, email:
yuema24 at cityu.edu.hk
Until Dec 2012:
Professor and Head of Economics Department, Lingnan
University, Hong Kong.
Professor Ma was graduated from Xiamen University and earned the BSc in Optimal
Conrtol Theory. His formal economics training started
in the Sino-US Economics Training Centre sponsored by the Ford Foundation, Renmin University, Beijing, 1985, where he was a
postgraduate student of Nobel Prize laureates Prof Robert Engle and Prof Leonid
Hurwicz. The Training Centre was organized by Prof
Gregory Chow from Princeton University. Prof Ma then earned his joint PhD
degree in Economics and Econometrics from Manchester University, UK. He was a
tenured Reader at Stirling University in Scotland
before he joined Lingnan in 1999.
Prof Ma is an international expert in banking and exchange rate policy. In the
early years, he made important contributions to the policy research questions
such as whether Europe should establish the euro and whether the British pound
should join the eurozone, learning from the lessons
of German reunification.
Recently, he has focused on the more interesting questions like whether the
Hong Kong dollar should de-link with the US dollar and peg to the Chinese
currency renminbi. For mainland China's economy, one
of projects led by Prof Ma was to investigate the possible impacts of the new
basket-referenced renminbi exchange rate system on
the two economies of mainland China and Hong Kong. Recently, he was invited by
the Research Department of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to re-evaluate the
robustness of the Hong Kong's Exchange Rate System undergone the mass inflow of
hot money.
Collaborating with scholars from MIT and HKU, Prof Ma has been interested in
trying to explain a puzzle why there has been significant labor intensive FDI,
rather than hi-tech FDI, invested in China in the past by using a large firm-level panel data.
In the aftermath of the 2007 subprime crisis, Prof Ma is working with
international scholars from Harvard, Florida, UIUC, U of Washington (Seattle),
and local scholars on Banking and Financial Institutions, Corporate Finance,
Financial Contracting, and Financial Regulations.
Prof Ma has published widely in international leading journals in economics and
finance such as Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Finance, Economic
Journal, Journal of International Money and Finance, European Economic Review,
Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Journal of Real Estate Finance and
Economics, and Journal of Comparative Economics. The main findings of his
research have been shared with policy makers in the World Bank, State Foreign
Exchange Administration (SAFE) in Beijing, Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA),
and the European Central Bank (ECB). Prof Ma has been also appointed as Wang Yanan Visiting Chair Professor in Xiamen University, Visitng Chair Professor of University of International
Business and Economics (UIBE, Beijing), and serves on the editorial boards of
the Journal of Chinese Business and Economic Studies (UK) and the Journal
International Trade (Beijing).
His textbook entitled Natural Resource and Environmental Economics has
been adopted in more than 30 countries worldwide and translated into both
Chinese and Russian. Its 4th edition is now underway.
