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.
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.
( I am on the 2020-2021 job market and will be available for interviews at the 2021 ASSA Virtual Meetings. )
Research Interest: Entrepreneurial Finance, Empirical Corporate Finance, Field Experiments, Labor
