Background
My path to becoming an economist is quite unconventional. I started formally studying Economics only after entering the workforce, having completed my full-time education in another field. While working a full-time job, I pursued an undergraduate degree in Economics through distance learning from LSE and University of London, and later obtained a master’s degree in Economics part-time at University of Hong Kong. I continued my academic pursuit by earning a PhD in Economics part-time at Chinese University of Hong Kong. After completing my PhD, I continued working in industry for three more years before transitioning to academia as a lecturer at my alma mater in 2019. In 2021, I joined the 澳门六合彩开奖记录.
I became an applied microeconomist because I enjoy explaining human behaviour from an economic perspective. I find it fascinating to view the world through this lens, and I am particularly interested in researching topics that aren't traditionally considered fields within Economics. My current research interests include beauty, parenting, child development, household structure, labour earnings, and football (soccer).
