Welcome to my page! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE). I hold a Master's degree in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the LSE and Bachelor's degrees in both Economics and Mathematics from Sun Yat-Sen University in China.
My research tackles two broad questions: (i) what is the impact of industrial policies on the adoption of new technologies (e.g., industrial robots) and macroeconomic outcomes? And (ii) What is the general equilibrium effect of natural disasters on individual decision making and the macroeconomy? In my job market paper, I study the impact of subsidies to industrial robots in China. Using a combination of empirical strategy and a heterogeneous firm DSGE model, I find that such subsidies promote aggregate robot adoption, while disproportionately benefiting larger firms. I will be on the 2024-25 job market. |
