One of my dissertation papers was awarded a prize at Academy of Management - Public and Nonprofit Division. The paper reveals how market administrators in Maoist China selectively enforced anti-market policies, reshaping institutions from below and creating the conditions for tacit market creation.

My co-authored article was awarded the Gordon White Prize from China Quarterly! The article offers a counter-narrative of China's economic development, revealing the scope of underground market activity even during the height of anti-capitalist campaigns in the 1960s-70s.

Congratulations to ‪@dr-frost.bsky.social‬ (of Copenhagen Business School) and Zeren Li (of NUSingapore) who have been awarded the 2024 Gordon White Prize for their article "Markets under Mao: Measuring Underground Activity in the Early PRC” (OA). doi.org/10.1017/S030...
