I am a research fellow at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund
University in Sweden. My research’s regional focus is China and my theoretical interests
center around various approaches framed within the fields of new institutional economics
and political economy. I am covering a rather broad range of topics such as financial
markets, public administration, and innovation. Currently I am pursuing two projects –
one on the effects of inter-jurisdictional competition in Zhejiang Province and a second
on the role of universities in China’s emerging regional and national systems of
innovation.
