But it rhymes.
Welcome to my website!
I'm currently an associate researcher at the Institute of Finance & Banking, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).
I'm also a researcher at the Center for National Balance Sheet (CNBS), National Institution for Finance & Development (NIFD) and a WID fellow for the World Inequality Lab.
I'm an economic historian, with research interests at the intersections of national wealth, the Great Divergence, and Chinese economic history.
