Yan Chen (born July 11, 1966) is a Chinese American behavioral and experimental economist. She is Daniel Kahneman Collegiate Professor of Information at the University of Michigan School of Information, research professor in the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, and distinguished visiting professor at the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, where she directs the Economics Science and Policy Experimental Lab. She is a former president of the Economic Science Association, an international organization of experimental economists.[1]
Chen studied English for Science and Technology as an undergraduate student at Tsinghua University in China, and became interested in Economics because of the impact of the reform and opening up happening around her. Since English majors were not eligible for graduate school in economics in Tsinghua University, she came to the U.S. for graduate school at Caltech.
