Research Interests: Firm and consumer behavior and welfare, China s economy and market I am interested in empirically modeling consumer behavior and the strategic interactions among firms. My research falls into the New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) paradigm. I employ both the classical approach and Bayesian approach to study two-sided markets, network effects, e-commerce, distribution channels, retail competition, high-tech markets, social interactions and networking. I am also interested in emerging markets in general and China s economy and market in particular. Selected Publications 1. Sun, Li, Surendra Rajiv and Junhong Chu. 2015.
