Welcome! I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Economics Department at Columbia University after finishing my undergraduate study at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I will join Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) as an Assistant Professor in Finance starting in August 2021.
My research explores topics related to empirical corporate finance, especially entrepreneurial finance, by using multidisciplinary research methods. In particular, I enjoy designing field and lab-in-the-field experiments to study important entrepreneurship and finance-related questions. These experiments, similar to art, help people understand the world while providing their designers with enough freedom and space for imagination.
Research Interest: Entrepreneurial Finance, Field Experiments, Sustainable Investment, Real Estate
