Primary research areas

Political economy of Greater China

International Business and Geopolitics

Global value chains and technological development

Intersection of Technology Policy and Corporate Strategy

Comparative Capitalism––Searching for Better Institutions

I seek to understand the economic, political and technological implications of China’s rise

I look for ways to best match policies, institutions and corporate and non-corporate actors for beneficial technological development 

My research helps: 

- governments to understand the implications of China’s rise 

- policymakers to incorporate corporate behavior and strategy into technology policy design 

- developing countries to leverage global value chains for socio-economic and technological development 

- change policymaking discourse to include deeper consideration of institutional effects on policy efficacy
