研究室紹介
Professor Shin-Chun Lin's research lab specializes in empirical macroeconomics and applied econometrics, with a focus on the interplay between economic globalization, institutional development, and sustainable growth. Key research directions include the impact of foreign direct investment and trade openness on income inequality, technological progress—particularly green technology—environmental policy dynamics, and the role of human capital and financial development in shaping economic outcomes. The lab employs advanced econometric methods such as panel cointegration, instrumental variable threshold regression, and dynamic panel GMM to analyze cross-country and time-series data with rigorous statistical modeling.

15ABSTRACT 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
