Welcome!
Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Riverside. I am on the job market during the 2021-2022 academic year and available for interviews.
My research focuses on exploring the relationship between firms' competition and innovation. In the competitive circumstance, how are commodities introduced and developed, how do firms allocate R&D resources to different product lines, and how do consumers make purchase decisions? I construct and estimate structural models of oligopoly to develop empirical and methodological contributions.
Research Interests: Industrial Organization, Applied Econometrics, Innovation and Research & Development.
