Zijun (June) Shi

I am an Assistant Professor at the HKUST Business School, an affiliated faculty at the HKUST Big Data Institute, and a core member of the AI Ethics and Governance Lab at HKUST. My research goal is to (1) leverage new technologies (e.g., AI) to enable business analytics and solutions, and (2) examine the impact of new technologies on human well-being and social welfare. I employ the most appropriate methodology according to the nature of the research topic, including econometrics, machine learning, applied game theory, and experimental studies.

Green Award for the best paper published in the Journal of Marketing Research. I also won the Don Lehmann Award for the best dissertation-based article published in the Journal of Marketing or Journal of Marketing Research. I have been recognized as the MSI Young Scholar in 2023.​​
