I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Economics at Zhejiang University of Technology, and a GLO Fellow. From October 2018 to March 2024, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Economics at Zhejiang University. In 2022, I served a temporary position at Beijing Office of The People's Government of Zhejiang Province to improve the inter-regional resource allocation efficiency through digital transformation. In May 2023, I was selected by the inaugural SOLE Mentoring Program (mentors are Fabian Lange & Uta Schoenberg) for the 2023-2024 year. In June 2024, I was invited to attend and present at the NBER Conference on Fertility and Declining Population Growth in High-Income Countries (organizers are Melissa Kearney & Phillip Levine). In July 2024, I was selected by the inaugural Government and Economics Training Workshop at the Tsinghua University. From October 2024, I serve a temporary position at Department of Social Development and Reform of the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission. In December 2024, I was invited to attend and present at the NBER Conference on Place-Based Policies and Entrepreneurship (organizers are Sabrina T. Howell, Josh Lerner, and David T. Robinson). In January 2025, I was invited to attend and present at the AEA annual meeting.

I obtained the Ph.D. in Economics from University of Nottingham (2018), M.A. in Labor Economics from Zhejiang University (2013), and B.S. in Statistics from Zhejiang University of Finance & Economics (2011).

I am interested in how individuals and firms respond to (relaxation of) population control policies. I am currently working on the consequences of (reductions in) migration barriers, raising retirement ages, as well as the relaxation of China's one-child policy. Some of my recent work has been published in the Journal of Comparative Economics, Canadian Journal of Economics and China Economic Review.
