About me

I obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business at Purdue University in August 2022, an M.S. in Statistics and a B.S. in Finance from University of Science and Technology of China in June 2016 and June 2014, respectively. My academic field is Econometrics. I am also interested in Finance and Macroeconomics, where flexible and powerful time series/panel data tools can be applied to answer empirical research questions. I have been awarded the Denis Sargan Econometrics Prize in 2021 by the Royal Economic Society [link].

Research

My research topics include:

  • Nonstationary Time Series: Structural Breaks, Unit Roots, Robust Inference, etc.

  • Large Vector Autoregressions (VARs).

  • Dynamic Panel Data Models​.

  • Model Averaging.
