Zhuozhen Zhao

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.
