Hello! 你好! ¡Hola!
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Management at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I hold a Ph.D. in Business Administration from the Gies College of Business, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I previously worked at the Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain.
My research examines how social perceptions of technology and innovation influence firm behavior or performance as well as shape the emergence and evolution of markets. I'm particularly interested in investigating these dynamics in cultural and creative industry settings. My work typically leverages archival, longitudinal data that capture entire populations of firms or products during key evolutionary periods of an industry, and I often triangulate my findings with qualitative or experimental data.
For instance, despite technological dissimilarity between TV broadcasting and film projection, the rise of television in the 1950s decimated movie theaters. Using quantitative as well as qualitative data on the population of TV shows and movie theaters (1944–1962), my coauthors and I demonstrate that demand-side perceptions of substitutability—not technical overlap—fueled cross-industry competition. This study highlights the role of cognitive market boundaries in industry evolution.
