Siqi Wei - Associate Professor of Finance

Welcome! I am the Stelmar Family Faculty Fellow and Associate Professor of Finance at David Nazarian College of Business and Economics at California State University Northridge.

My current research focuses on the economic consequences of modern technologies. These projects examine how technology adoption can generate unintended corporate outcomes, how generative AI may alter childhood skill formation through cognitive delegation, and how emerging technologies reshape the employment effects of tax incentives. Together, they connect technological disruption to corporate accountability, labor-market restructuring, and long-run developmental capacity formation.

Another strand of my current research connects information infrastructure to public finance by studying how public data visibility affects the allocation of competitive public resources.

My earlier published work studies capital markets, corporations, and individual behavior through the common lens of information, macro uncertainty, and institutional frictions. My research has been presented at major conferences, including FMA, AAA, SWFA, SFA, CICF, and others, and has been featured by Bloomberg, Columbia Law School’s Blue Sky Blog, and the SEC Small Business Advocates Report to U.S. Congress. My work has been published in the Journal of Corporate Finance, Emerging Markets Review, Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance, and other finance journals. I received my Ph.D. in Finance from Oklahoma State University. Before joining CSUN, I served as a risk management specialist at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China–US in New York City.
