My research inquiry concentrates on the economics of innovation with a focus on firm innovation strategy in an emerging economy. I’m particularly interested in what incentivizes (or impedes) firms to make influential innovation, how do firms strategically transform their (patented) inventions into competitive advantage, as well as the policy and social-welfare implications of firm innovation strategy.
