Topics in Empirical Finance
I have taught this lecture for two semesters (summer semester of 2016 and 2017) together with Jun. Prof. Colonnello. During the two times we taught this course, the students are introduced to state-of-the art empirical methods in the field of financial economics and statistical tools for the practical applications of those methods. The first part of the course discusses the corporate governance research, which is mainly based on the survey paper "Endogeneity in Empirical Corporate Finance" by M.R. Roberts and T.M. Whited. The second part of the course focuses on asset pricing research and follows the book "Asset Pricing" by J.H. Cochrane.

Rising Economies after World War II
I taught this undergraduate lecture in the winter semester of 2015/16 and 2016/2017. This course mainly introduces the basic knowledge of development economics with the examples of successful economies after World War II, such as South Korea, Singapore, West Germany and France. The purpose of this course is to provide a historical perspective of economic development to the students so that they will have a better understanding of the classic development economic theories. The economic history part of the course materials are collected and prepared by myself and the theory part follows "Introduction to Modern Economic Growth" by Daron Acemoglu.

Seminar: Executive Compensation
I taught this seminar together with Jun. Prof. Colonnello in the winter semester of 2017/2018. The seminar serves as both regular seminar and IBE Project Seminar. This seminar introduces students to the essential elements of the literature, including the practical importance, common practices and theoretical difficulties in executive compensation, as well as the related regulatory debate, and academic research in this field. The seminar builds on the survey paper "Executive Compensation: Where We Are, and How We Got There" by K.J. Murphy as well as numerous scholarly articles. Specific topics are discussed in the seminar, such as the regulation of compensation, bonus compensation in banks, and the efficiency of observed compensation practices.
