About Me
I am a Full Professor in the Department of Economics and Finance at the City University of Hong Kong. Before joining CityU, I was a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Finance at the John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, in Canada.
My research explores the dynamic interplay between corporate finance and external institutional factors. I investigate how corporations adapt their investment and financing strategies in response to institutional changes, integrating disciplines such as law, political science, and environmental studies. My specific interests include MNEs, global innovation, political economics, sustainable finance, international taxation, and debt covenants.
In addition to my research, I serve as Co-director of the EMBA (Chinese) program and Co-director of the joint EMBA-MPA program with Tsinghua University. In the classroom, I teach “Corporate Finance” and “Sustainable Finance” at various levels, from undergraduate to executive education. I am also deeply committed to doctoral education, supervising students in the Ph.D., DBA (English), and IDBA (Chinese) programs.
I hold a Ph.D. in Finance from Rutgers University, a Master’s degree in Finance from Renmin University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Investment with a minor in Law from the Central University of Finance and Economics.
