He then worked in the Research Department of the Bank of Canada for three years, on a variety of research projects related to Monetary Policy credibility, learning, testing policy objectives, and the impact of sticky prices on the macroeconomy. He joined the School of Economics and Finance of The University of Hong Kong in August, 2001.
