On July 13, 2016, Vincent Yao, Associate Professor at the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, visited IESR where he met with our Dean and Professor Shuaizhang Feng, Associate Professor Sisi Zhang, and Assistant Professors Yizhen Gu and Hongjia Zhu.

During the visit, Vincent Yao learned about the recent developments in IESR, its faculty, research projects that have been carried out, as well as our ongoing BA and MA programs here at the institute. As professor reflected, he feels very optimistic about IESR future development as it clearly has a strong research potential in urban economics, real estate economics and other related fields. In the future, he noted, he sees great perspectives for mutual cooperation in terms of think tank construction, and other areas as well.
