The Economics Department at Lingnan University is a small community of
active researchers and scholars.
Although our research and publications are impressive -- our publications
cover a whole range of highly respected journals, books, and book chapters
-- we pride ourselves on being "economists of the world." Our research is
down-to-earth and highly relevant to the welfare of Hong Kong people, China,
and the human race. In particular, we conduct policy-relevant research on
international financial markets, on the labour market, on the housing
market, on industrial policy, on health policy, on social security and aging
problems, and on population economics. Prof. Jesˆys Seade, Chair Professor of
Economics and Vice-President of the University, is an authority as a theorist and
policy man, a former Chair in Public Economics at Warwick University in the
UK but also a former Deputy Head of the World Trade Organization and Senior
Advisor at the International Monetary Fund; Prof. L. S. Ho is an expert on
Hong Kong and on policy design and analysis. Other members of staff are also
experts in their respective fields. Overall, we have expertise in financial
markets, tax theory and policy, labour economics, industrial economics,
development economics, economics of the family, international trade, cost
benefit analysis, and agricultural economics. The economics staff holds PhDs
from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Canada, and Australia.
