I got my Ph.D. degree in Economics in 2017 from State University of New York at Binghamton. My research areas include production economics and applied econometrics. I am interested in topics related to productivity analysis, identification and estimation of production technology, spillovers, exporting, R&D, the economy of China, semi/nonparametric regression, panel data models, spatial econometrics, and stochastic frontier analysis,. Most of my research  is on the intersection of production economics, econometrics, industrial organization, and the Chinese economy.
