Welcome to my website! I am Kezhou Xiao (English Name: Spencer, Chinese Character: 肖可舟), currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). My main research interests focus on political economy, development and growth, and entrepreneurship as well as innovation in a rapidly globalizing world. (My Google Profile)
My dissertation will be dedicated to Mr. Gu Zhun (顾准), an intellectual, economist, translator, and political prisoner in his lonely search for freedom, reason, and betterment of human societies. Unless we work together for a common human dream (人类梦), current frictions could escalate and end up in an imperialist war. Check out Kevin Rudd (陆克文)'s Ted Talk below!
