V. Short Bio
I (my Chinese name is 郑于青) conduct research in the areas of price analysis (empirical IO), trade impact on labor, and quantitative methods.  I obtained my Ph.D. degree with a minor in Statistics in August 2006 from Auburn University under the direction of professor Henry W. Kinnucan.  I worked as adjunct professor and full-time instructor in the business school (AACSB accredited) at Auburn University-Montgomery  when finishing my Ph.D. study.  Since then, I accepted a research associate III position with the Cornell Commodity Promotion Research Program in the Department of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.  My recent work focuses on the structural estimation of economics journal pricing from a two-sided market perspective, and trade impact on rising wage inequality.  I was from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, a beautiful city that served as one of the seven ancient capitals for China.  I am happily married to Fei Ye, a graduate of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell, with a son Yi Zheng.  I have lived in Alabama, Maryland, New York, and North Carolina and traveled to Arkansas, Arizona, California, DC, Delaware, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
