Speaker Bio: Nancy Qian is the James J. O'Connor Professor at Kellogg MEDS and the founding director of China Lab, a part of Northwestern's Global Poverty Research Lab. Her research provides empirical evidence for a set of core questions in development economics from four sub-categories: demography and development, geography and development, institutions and development and culture and development.
