Chang is Professor of Economics. His major research areas are microeconomics (conflict and contest, risk and uncertainty, applied game theory), international trade, and industrial organization. Chang has concentrated his recent research on issues related to rivalry: international rivalry (conflict and economics of war and peace), team rivalry (economics of sports), and sibling rivalry (micro-models of family transfers and labor economics). His current projects include research into the motives and determinants of private transfers and their policy implications for government’s intergenerational income redistribution. Elements of conflict and rent-seeking behavior are incorporated into the models of intergenerational transfers and sibling rivalry. Using a portfolio approach in a sequential Nash game, Chang attempts to reconcile empirical findings concerning unequal inter-vivos gifts and equal bequests with the portfolio analysis. Other projects on the economics of transfers further consider such psychological elements as envy, hard feelings, and guilt to examine alternative bequest rules and their implications for intergenerational relationships.
Chang’s research interests in other topics of microeconomics and in industrial organization include revenue sharing and competitive balance in professional team sports leagues, behavior of firms under minimum wage legislation, decision making under uncertainty, strategic R&D investment and licensing, and production efficiency and diversification under price-cap regulation. His research interests in international trade include anti-dumping and countervailing duties under oligopoly, welfare analysis of trade policies such as The Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act, vertical specialization in trade in newly developed economies, as well as issues related to trade, territorial dispute, and security. Chang’s work has appeared (or is forthcoming) in a number of professional journals, including Journal of Political Economy, Canadian Journal of Economics, Managerial and Decision Economics, Public Finance Quarterly, Information Economics and Policy, Applied Economics Letters, Journal of Development Studies, Open Economies Review, Defence and Peace Economics, Annals of Finance, Southern Economic Journal (2), and European Journal of Political Economy.
