Zixuan (Cindy) Jia
I am from the Affiliated School of Jinan University for Hong Kong and Macao Students and serve as President of the Student Union. I am also the Academic Vice President of the Student Committee for the China Region of the International Economics Olympiad.I am interested in how institutions, technology, and development shape socioeconomic opportunities—and why those opportunities remain deeply unequal. Growing up in a Tibetan Buddhist family has also shaped my interest in exchanges between different cultures.
Through research and writing, I have explored the impacts of education policy and technological development on socioeconomic mobility, as well as the long-term effects of fiscal transfers across Chinese provinces on spatial development.Through work with monasteries, museums, and publishing institutions in Tibetan regions, I have helped digitize and preserve Tibetan cultural materials.
