Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics
I study rural development and agricultural productivity, with a focus on mechanization, agricultural service markets, farm household behavior, and policy design in China.
My work combines household surveys, policy variation, administrative records, and applied microeconometric methods to understand how farms, markets, and public programs interact.
Rural Development
Farm household decisions, off-farm employment, income, and food-system change.
Policy Evaluation
Subsidies, service systems, rural entrepreneurship, and agricultural public policy.
