Jino Lu

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis.

My research explores how external technological and societal factors impact firms and their innovation processes, in the context of electric vehicle technologies, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. My research methodology involves constructing large-scale, novel datasets and using a combination of causal inference econometrics and machine learning techniques, complemented by qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.
