Biography

My main research interests are environmental and energy economics, transportation economics, trade, and waste management. I am particularly interested in exploring how policies can contribute to achieve environmental objectives. I have conducted research on evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of environmental policies in electric vehicles and used vehicles in China, the design of energy labels for ACs, among others.
