Research Cluster – Economics and Finance –

The research cluster investigates how corporations make critical financial decisions, from capital investments to funding strategies, across diverse international markets. By analyzing the impact of these choices on firm valuation and long‑term resilience, the team provides evidence‑based insights that support sustainable growth in both emerging and developed economies.

Focused on industrial organization, international trade, and monetary policy, this cluster explores how global markets and economic frameworks shape firm strategies and macroeconomic performance. Its mission is to deliver rigorous, policy relevant research that informs decision making in an interconnected world economy.

This research cluster examines how human behavior drives economic decision‑making. Through controlled experiments, researchers uncover the psychological and cognitive factors influencing choices in markets and policy environments. By integrating behavioral insights with established economic theory, the team contributes to more effective and human‑centered policy design.

Dedicated to the economics of sustainability, this research group of experts focuses on China’s environmental challenges and energy transition. Researchers analyze how policies and resource management shape economic development, aiming to design practical strategies that balance prosperity with environmental protection. The cluster’s work extends to other developing economies, advancing global dialogue on sustainable growth.
