Hsuan-Li Su- Macroeconomics Lab focuses research on distributional macroeconomics. We study the interaction between inequality and macro economy. We use the bottom-up approach, from individual decisions, firms' production, and government policies and aggregate up to macroeconomy. We analyze how inequality emerges and how policy shapes and affects inequality, in income, wealth, education, health, and other dimensions. We mainly use quantitative methods.
We study macroeconomics, networks, and inequality issues.
