Hello, welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the School of Economics at Peking University.

My areas of specialization are environmental economics, transportation economics, urban economics, and biodiversity. My research focuses on advancing understanding of the impacts of regulatory enforcement and compliance, and of market imperfections in both domestic and international settings. I received my Ph.D. from the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.

You can find my CV here.
