Dr. Heer Wang | Environmental and Sustainable Materials | Research Excellence Award 

Kunming University of Science and Technology | China

Dr. Heer Wang is an emerging scholar in applied economics whose research lies at the intersection of industrial transformation, climate change, labor mobility, and sustainable economic development. His work explores how evolving economic structures and environmental shocks shape household behavior, productivity, and long-term growth pathways, particularly within developing and transitional economies. By integrating rigorous microeconometric evaluation methods with rich empirical data, he contributes meaningful insights into how societies adapt to climate risks and structural shifts. A major strand of his research investigates the socioeconomic consequences of climate variability, especially extreme rainfall and its implications for rural livelihoods. His publications in leading journals such as Science of The Total Environment and Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy highlight how climate shocks influence labor mobility, household vulnerability, agricultural productivity, and consumption smoothing. His studies provide evidence-based perspectives that deepen the understanding of how rural communities manage risk, adjust labor allocation, and navigate long-term adaptation strategies under environmental uncertainty. Another important area of his work focuses on industrial structure upgrading and technological capability. Through theoretical and empirical analyses published in the Asian Journal of Technology Innovation, his research examines the depth and sophistication of structural transformation, revealing how technological capacity and sectoral linkages drive high-quality economic development. His work contributes to policy discussions on how emerging economies can enhance industrial competitiveness while maintaining sustainable growth. In addition to published work, he has developed several working papers addressing market integration, climate-induced behavioral responses, and the dynamics of agricultural adaptation. These studies reflect a consistent research theme: understanding how economic agents respond to shocks and incentives within rapidly evolving socioeconomic environments. His research portfolio is reinforced by participation in multiple interdisciplinary and national research projects funded by major institutions. These projects span topics such as digital economy development, fertility policy evaluation, labor mobility under technological disruption, climate risk prediction using artificial intelligence, and the economic implications of population aging. His role across these initiatives demonstrates strong capabilities in empirical modeling, policy analysis, and data-driven decision support. He brings expertise in microeconometrics, policy evaluation techniques, and quantitative analysis using software platforms such as Stata, R, and SPSS. His work contributes directly to academic knowledge, policymaking, and practical interventions aimed at improving resilience, enhancing productivity, and supporting sustainable economic progress. Overall, his research advances critical conversations on how economies can navigate structural change while adapting to environmental and demographic challenges.
