Welcome to my webpage!

I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the NYU Furman Center. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of California, San Diego in 2017. My research interests are in Urban Economics, International Trade, and Economic History. My research (to date) has used archival data to quantitatively analyze historical cities and used spatial equilibrium models to evaluate contemporary migration policies.
