Hello, I am Castiel. Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Development Economics in the School of Economics at Peking University. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Washington in 2022.


​My recent research topics concern:

1. development economics, e.g., determinants of health wellbeing, human capital investment, fertility decisions, and coordinated urban-rural development;
2. empirical industrial organization, e.g., pharmaceutical market, platform economy, productivity, and firm behaviors.

​
​I'm a development/labor economist who applies analytical tools from public health, environmental science, urban science, and management science to analyze policies that promote human development.
