I now fully recognize that I am an intellectual "fox" rather than a "hedgehog" (reference here), and has grown to be comfortable with this tendency. ​Here are a few topics that I am working on:

1) Just Transition in Taiwan 

-

- Sensitizing Just Transition in Taiwan (with Shun-Nan Chiang, Climate Policy, 2024)
-

- Equal rights for gasoline and electricity? The dismantling of fossil fuel vehicle phase-out policy in Taiwan (with Chia-Wei Chao, Energy Research & Social Science, 2022) 

2) Market-based climate policy

- Lately, I translated the 
Carbon Offset Guide into Chinese, and serve as a member in Taiwan's carbon levy committee.  
- Distributional effects of carbon pricing: An analysis of income-based versus expenditure-based approaches (with Cheng-Hsiang Shei and I-Yun Lisa Hsieh, Journal of Cleaner Production, 2024) 

3) Climate change discourses and communication
