Ye Zhang, Director, Resolution Economics

Where are the high risk areas? Ye Zhang, a labor economist and director at Resolution Economics, joins Anora Wang and Alicia Downey to unpack how state law disclosure mandates interact with competitive dynamics in labor markets, when pay benchmarking can cross antitrust lines, and how firms can design compensation systems that are both transparent and compliant.
