Welcome to my homepage.
I am a Professor of economics at Renmin University. I received my B.S. in management science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2000, a Ph.D. in economics from Zhejiang University in 2009. I had intensive aboard visiting experience including Toulouse School of Economics as a CSC's joint-training Ph.D. student (2007-2008), University of Nebraska at Omaha as a CSC's visiting scholar (2009-2010) , the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) as a Alexander von Humboldt fellow (2010-2011), University of Sherbrooke as a visiting professor by Sino-Canada joint program (2015-2016), and University of Munster as a visiting professor. I joined the Department of Energy Economics at Renmin University in 2012.
My research focuses on energy economics, environmental economics and applied econometrics. I had worked extensively on the analysis of energy efficiency and evaluation of marginal abatement cost of pollutants. I am currently focused on the residential energy demand in China. This work includes a national-wide household survey and several pilot intervention experiments to identify the policy instruments for residential energy management. My research has appeared in the PNAS, Nature Energy, Environmental and Resource Economics, China Economic Review, Energy Economics, Energy Policy, Water Policy and other academic journals.
