About Myself

I am an economist in the area of labor economics. I Received Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2006, then joined IUJ. My research focuses on the empirical investigation of the behavioral responses of firms or individuals to their changes in institutional or social environment. My econometric work focuses on the estimation of such responses in a reliable and unbiased manner. Currently I am investigating how the bargaining decentralization that took place in Australia would affect the productivity of Australian firms.

I am also interested in other fields of studies, including compensation of top executives, and productivity analysis using Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis.

Hobbies: playing guitar, fishing, and BBQ.
