Jianhuan Xu (徐建欢)

Welcome to my website! I am an Associate Professor in the Economics Department at Singapore Management University. My research lies at the intersection of macro-development and growth, with a focus on productivity, innovation, and labor market dynamics. Broadly, my work centers on two core questions: How can we improve productivity? And how does improved productivity reshape people’s lives? To answer these questions, I combine quantitative macroeconomic modeling, causal inference techniques, and rich micro-level data.
