Previous research

My main research areas are international trade and development economics. In particular, my research aims to understand both productivity and social consequences of globalization for developing countries. The particular research topics I have worked on are the following.

(i) Technology choice of firms in developing countries in response to international trade and foreign direct investment (see papers 1 and 2).
(ii) Matching and relationship between exporting firms in developing countries and importing firms in developed countries (see paper 3).
(iii) Broader social consequences of globalization, such as the impact of international trade on the environment and crime (see papers 2, 4 and 5).
