Associate Professor
School of Economics and Management Wuhan University I am an Associate Professor, Distinguished Research Fellow and PhD supervisor at the School of Economics and Management, Wuhan University. I am also the associate director and core faculty member of the Center for China and Globalization Studies at Wuhan University. I received my PhD from Iowa State University. I am a macroeconomist interested in population and demographic issues. My research is motivated by the observed demographic transition that commonly accompanies the process of economic growth, and by the massive expected demographic changes that will likely affect all countries and the world economic order. My research uses well-micro-founded macroeconomic models of fertility to explain key regularities of the data, perform policy analysis, and determine the efficiency properties of the market allocations. My most recent research involves developing a tractable unified general equilibrium theory of oligopolistic competition. This research seeks to better integrate the fields of macroeconomics and industrial organization. The proposed theory provides a unified model of competition that includes monopolistic competition and perfect competition as special cases. I have used the model to resolve long-standing economic controversies, apply it to classic trade problems, and compare it with the equilibrium of monopolistic competition and efficient allocations. My research has been published in various academic journals, including the Journal of Monetary Economics, Theoretical Economics, and the Journal of Population Economics. I am an anonymous reviewer for several journals, such as Journal of Demographic Economics, Journal of Macroeconomics, Annals of Economics and Finance, China Economic Quarterly ( Chinese), Economic Review (Chinese), etc. |
