Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Advanced Economic Research, Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. Prior to this, I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Singapore Management University in 2026.
My research interests are International Trade and Spatial Economics. My current work focuses on (1) strategic interactions among governments in trade policy; (2) the interplay between international trade, global supply chains, and environmental policies; and (3) the effects of public policies on the spatial allocation of human capital and regional development. Methodologically, I combine reduced-form causal inference with structural quantitative methods. More recently, I have also been exploring the use of AI and machine learning to solve and analyze high-dimensional quantitative models.
