I love traveling to places and interacting with people. They are my research inspirations. Over the years, I have worked and lived in Taiwan and the U.S. I have conducted field research in India, Cambodia, and Thailand. I also traveled to many parts of the world--from the rich to the poor, from orders to chaos, from serenity to turmoils--through the field is my way to become a better economist.
