Featured Research
"Borrowing money can improve a person’s life in many ways, whether it’s being used to fund an education, start a business or buy a house. But there are also concerns about predatory lending and the implications for financial stability. This has led to regulations that restrict how much money people can borrow. I hope my research will be useful for evaluating and improving these policies."

Rice Business Professor Siyu Yu and her team found that people who accurately gauge team influencers possess “status acuity,” a skill that can reduce group conflict and improve team performance.
