I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Southern California (USC). My research interests are Macroeconomics, Development Economics, and Finance.  I will be on the job market in 2023-2024. 

In my job market paper, I analyze China's "green finance policy" and its influence on firm behavior in green finance pilot zones. To accomplish this, I construct a dataset, explore the policy's impact on the economic and environmental performance of, and allocative efficiency among, listed firms, and develop a model to measure the aggregate economy's response to green policy changes.
