Jie Fang


I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on the role of patent trade and its impact on innovation outcomes and incentives. I combine US patent data, drug development data, and firm-level information to study how the timing of patent trade and market frictions affect the product development outcome and innovation incentives, in the context of the pharmaceutical industry.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, painting, practicing yoga, and spending time with my family. 

I will be on the 2023-2024 job market.
