Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to combine work from multiple distinct researchers sharing the name 'Yan Liu,' spanning financial economics/econometrics (mutual fund performance, option pricing, panel data methods), health services and health insurance policy research in China, and unrelated topics in materials science and medicine. The finance-related work focuses on evaluating investment performance, distinguishing luck from skill in fund returns, and statistical methods for analyzing markets and panel data. Because the data mixes several fields with no clear single research identity, prospective students should verify which specific research program and institutional affiliation they are interested in before drawing conclusions.

Publication counts fluctuate considerably year to year (including gaps in 2023-2024) rather than showing a steady or clearly growing pattern, which is also consistent with the record representing multiple different authors under the same name.
