Research
There is broad consensus in the accounting, economics, and finance literature that politics matters in firm behaviour and performance. To shed light on the economic consequences of politics, Xuejun's research is motivated by a core question: How do politicians influence firm behaviour and performance?  Xuejun's research focuses on political factors and a range of firm behaviours and performance, including financial reporting, corporate governance, investment and strategy, and economic consequences in the stock market. To this end, inspired by various economic, political science, and accounting theories, Xuejun uses quantitative research methodologies to analyse issues related to the interplay between government and firms.
