Mengyi Wang

Mengyi’s research focuses on how legal rules and institutions impact both domestic and international political economies. In particular, her current work examines how the Federal Reserve’s monetary instruments and industrial-trade policy reconfigure the administrative state, the constitutional structure, and global economic governance. To address these questions, she employs a mixed-methods research approach, integrating doctrinal, quantitative, and qualitative methods. Her latest article about the Federal Reserve is forthcoming in the Cornell Law Review. 

Mengyi received her B.S. in chemistry and philosophy from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her J.D. from Harvard Law School. She is currently completing an interdisciplinary Ph.D. at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. Prior to academia, her professional experience includes patent litigation and prosecution, international trade dispute settlement at the World Trade Organization, and development policy.
