Professor Shu-Chin Lin's research lab specializes in empirical macroeconomics and development economics, with a focus on the interplay between foreign direct investment, financial development, human capital, and natural resources in shaping income inequality and economic performance across countries. The lab employs advanced econometric techniques—such as panel cointegration, threshold regression, and stochastic finite-element analysis—to examine dynamic and heterogeneous effects in developing and advanced economies. Research directions include the distributional impacts of FDI, the role of financial and human capital in economic growth, and the long-term consequences of natural resource dependence.

ABSTRACT This paper empirically examines whether human capital defines the association between foreign direct investment (FDI) and income inequality. Rather than focusing on one country or region, we investigate with a broad cross section of countries to address parameter heterogeneity across countries. Using the instrumental variable threshold regressions approach, we find a significant threshold level of human capital, below which FDI exerts a disproportionately positive (negative) impact on t
A method for the probabilistic failure analysis of laminated composite plates with random system parameters subject to transverse loads is presented. System parameters such as material properties, plate thickness, and lamina strengths of a laminated composite plate are treated as baseline random variables. The statistics of the baseline random variables obtained from experiments are used in a stochastic finite-element analysis for computing the statistical moments of stresses in the laminated co
