Gen Li is an Assistant Professor of Finance at UNSW Business School. He received his PhD in Finance from the University of British Columbia and was previously the Zannoni Research Associate at the Yale School of Management.

His research spans real estate finance, macro-finance, and household finance. He studies how household beliefs and aggregate shocks, such as monetary policy and housing wealth, affect economic decisions, and how those decisions propagate to asset prices and the broader economy. Current projects examine how income-seeking investors make housing with short cash-flow duration more sensitive to interest rates, not less, how homebuyers extrapolate price growth from one market to another, and the effects of housing wealth on household labour supply. His work has been cited in the 2023 Economic Report of the President and recognised by the Bank of Canada Graduate Student Paper Award.
