I am looking for a part-time RA (fluent in any two languages among English, Chinese, and Korean) with a social science background (political science, economics, sociology, or public policy) to work on new datasets. Please email me (jyhong.at.ust.dot.hk) if interested.
Email me for any inaccessible paper or unlinked working papers.
