I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at Wake Forest University and a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies' Economic Research Centre. I was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at Chinese University of Hong Kong from 2009 to 2016. My current research interests include the economics of intellectual property/innovation (in which I focus on the implications of copyright infringement on business strategies and government policy), the economic history of the African slave trade and its effects (in which I focus on the economic history and its impacts on current African and American development), and the economics of housing (in which I study the Hong Kong housing market and how e-commerce impacts the housing market).
