The University of Alabama

My name is Jun Zhao (I also go by Bean). I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics, Finance, and Legal Studies at the University of Alabama. My research interests lie in Microeconometrics, Empirical Industrial Organization, and Political Economy. In my job market paper, I develop a two-stage contest model with entry and also a model for voters to study the effects of campaign spending on electoral outcomes given endogenous candidate entry in the U.S. Senate elections.
