Dr. Chunrong Ai is Professor of Economics and Presidential Chair Professor in the School of Management and Economics, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. He is the FEMBA/EDP program joint director at The Shenzhen Finance Institute and director of the Social and Behavioral Big Data Lab at The Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data. Before that, he was Professor of Economics and Florida Term Professor at the University of Florida. He was the founding Dean of the Institute of Statistics and Big Data, Renmin University of China, and the founding Dean of the School of Statistics and Management, Senior Associate Dean of the Institute for Advanced Research and Associate Dean of Business School, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
Dr. Ai’s primary research interests are in the area of econometrics, empirical industrial organization, empirical finance, and Chinese economy. Recently he focused on the interdisciplinary research between data science and behavioral big data. His research outputs are published in the reputable scholarly journals. His research productivity got him into the top two most cited Chinese economists.
