This paper combines cross-national election surveys with regional measures of China-shock trade exposure and automation exposure to estimate the joint impact of trade and technological shocks on radical-right support across European regions. Using a region-by-individual modeling strategy, I show that the political effects of globalization and automation are neither independent nor additive: they interact with local labor-market structure to reshape who turns toward the radical right and along which dimensions of grievance. The paper contributes a unified empirical framework for thinking about how the twin shocks of the past two decades have rewritten Europe's political map.

This project uses Python and large language models to structure, classify, and analyze approximately 600,000 textual records from US trade-remedy investigations. As research assistant, I designed and implemented the data-cleaning pipeline, performed topic identification, and built a structured feature database of US trade-policy text. Preliminary results were presented at Fudan's "AI & Political Science" International Conference in 2025; co-authored manuscript in preparation.

This thesis assembles a long-run record of US technology firms' political participation from 1990 to 2024, integrating lobbying, campaign donations, regulatory comment, and elite networks. I propose a "four-quadrant" theoretical framework that classifies firms' political postures along two axes — orientation toward the regulatory state and orientation toward partisan politics — and trace how individual firms migrate across quadrants in response to expansion, antitrust, and decoupling pressures. The framework offers a portable lens for comparing corporate political postures across sectors and political regimes.

We construct a game-theoretic model of quality inspection regimes in farm-to-consumer direct-selling channels, deriving conditions under which decentralized versus centralized inspection produces socially optimal quality outcomes. The paper grew out of a Shanghai Philosophy and Social Science general project and was first presented at the POMS 2022 International Conference.
