Jino Lu

Hello! I am a PhD Candidate in Strategy at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California. In Summer 2024, I will join the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis as an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship.

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.

If you would like to connect, please feel free to reach out at jino.lu@marshall.usc.edu I am always eager to connect and discuss research.
