Yu, Jin Young (Advisor: Ryu, Doo Jin), a Ph.D. student in the Department of Economics of our university, won the Best Thesis Award at the 2020 Summer Conference of the Korean Journal of Financial Engineering.
In the award-winning thesis (thesis title: Information Trades of Options Around Holidays), Yu, Jin Young analyzed financial big data including real-time order price information with a market microstructure model and investigated the behavior of high-frequency information transactions before and after holidays from various aspects in the derivative financial product market.
Yu, Jin Young entered the Department of Economics at our university through international high schools in Australia and Beijing, and in order to devote to the studies without interruption, he applied for the undergraduate/master's linkage course and the master's/doctoral integrated course. He is currently attending the second year of the doctoral program.
Even though he is still in his lower years in the program, he has already published his thesis in Finance Research Letters, the top 8% journal based on JCR (© 2020 Clarivate Analytics), and Emerging Markets Review, the top 11% in Business-Finance (Top 15% in Economics). As such, a total of 7 SSCI journal articles have been published so far, and several papers are currently being reviewed by renowned academic journals.
In his acceptance speech, Yu, Jin Young said, “The process of writing a thesis requires a lot of effort and is difficult, but the experience of exploring new research topics, writing thesis, and publishing it in journals is very valuable. I think it is a great luck to be able to devote myself to research day and night with my advisor, learning how to write a thesis and grow up as a scholar.”
In addition, he expressed his ambition as a scholar, saying, "I want to challenge myself to be appointed to a prestigious overseas university for the first time as a Ph.D. in our school's economics department."
