Junchao is interested in the political origins and consequences of economic inequality, social mobility, and quantification. He is now developing two sets of research agenda. The first agenda aims to quantitatively evaluate the spatial-temporal variation in the quality of decennial population census data in China. In the second agenda, Junchao is interested in a comparative study of wealth inequality in post-socialist sphere. For now, Junchao is collaborating with other faculty members developing necessary tools for studying wealth and income inequality.
