Bio:

Broadly interested in culture, I study valuation and evaluation of cultural goods. I have two ongoing projects. One is an ethnography at a Chinese fake bag market where I explore how counterfeit goods are valued and priced in the circulation process. The other one is a collaboration project with Dr. Hannah Wohl, which we examine price determinants of contemporary artworks at Art Basel based on a novel dataset. My previous research about how Chinese visual artists justify their career paths has been published in Poetics.
