My Research

·         I have a very active research agenda which has so far resulted in more than 40 publications in international, refereed journals and more than 20 publications in mainland China journals over the past 12 years.

·         Given the rapid economic developments in China, I believe it is my responsibility to contribute to research in this area. My research focuses on issues in corporate finance, investments, and industrial organization. In particular I apply the latest econometric techniques and the cross-discipline approach to address questions and problems that are germane to China. I have published papers in the journals of economics, finance, accounting and management.

·         I am ranked No. 25 in Asia-Pacific universities measured by the weighted total JF-pages (1990–2004) in 21 leading finance journals based on “Ranking of Finance Program in the Asia-Pacific Region: An Update” by Chan, Chen and Lung published in Pacific-Basin Finance Journal, 2005.
