Shu-Ling WangFaculty

I joined Gustavus Adolphus College in 2016, after my two-year visit at The College of Wooster. My teaching interests are Macroeconomics, Money and Banking, International Finance, and Public Finance. Being an active instructor in an interactive and interdisciplinary liberal arts environment, I enjoy developing and experimenting teaching pedagogies to enrich students' learning experiences. I also enjoy mentoring undergraduate research that fosters students to become a critical thinker. At Wooster, I advised several one-year long senior independent studies. At Gustavus, I mentored class projects to attend the Minnesota Economic Association (MEA) undergraduate paper contest. In October 2023, my Money and Banking students' paper titled “The Asian Crisis of 1997" won the 3rd place in the category of economic communication.

My research focuses on Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics, and International Finance. I particularly study fiscal and monetary policy issues, such as fiscal stimulus, debt financing, tax policy, and distriutionsal effects as well as DEI, using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) framework with representative or heterogeneous agents. My papers are published in Journal of Macroeconomics, Review of International Economics, and Economic Modelling. The current project studies the debt-financed stimulus effects, considering various schemes and speed of debt financing in a two-sector New-Keynesian model calibrated to Spain. In addition to publications, I serve as a paper reviewer for Journal of Macroeconomics, Economic Modelling, Contemporary Economic Policy, The American Economics, Cambridge Uiversity Press, and Bulletin of Economic Research. I also present my work at the Midwest Economic Association conference, Canadian Economic Association conference, Western Economic Association conference, and Liberal Arts Macro Conference. 

Beyond academia, I love architecture, arts, photography, and music. My favorite architects are Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and Zaha Hadid. I am also fascinated by the drawings of Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and Claude Monet. I play piano, violin, and Pi-Pa (a Chinese instrument). My favorite composers and musicians are Johann S. Bach of the Baroque period.
