My primary research fields are Macroeconomics, Chinese Economy, Economic Growth, and Structural Transformation. I received my PhD in Economics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and my Bachelor's degree in Economics from Lingnan College, Sun Yat-sen University. I have published multiple papers in international journals, such as the Annual Review of Economics and Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, as well as in leading Chinese journals like Economic Research Journal (《经济研究》) and China Economic Quarterly (《经济学(季刊)》).
