Top SchoolIvan Chen is an Assistant Professor of Applied Economics at the National University of Kaohsiung with nine years of research and teaching experience focused on international trade, industrial organization, and applied game theory. He combines theoretical modeling and quantitative microdata analysis to examine how trade shapes labor market participation, skill-upgrading, and income distribution, and uniquely leverages a rare historical archive to quantify the productivity effects of "picking-winner" industrial policy through firm–bureaucracy and innovation linkages. A PhD from National Taiwan University, he has held postdoctoral and visiting positions at Academia Sinica and Singapore Management University, bringing cross-institutional perspective to empirical macro-trade questions. As a committed educator, he designs discussion-driven courses that integrate frontier research—currently teaching economics, calculus, and urban economics while developing a numerical analysis course for economists.
