Nicholas Li is an assistant professor of Economics at Toronto Metropolitan University. His primary fields are empirical trade and development. His research focuses on how trade and other market frictions affect the diffusion of prices and products across firms, borders, and space and the implications for household welfare. One strand of his research explores issues related to food consumption, production decisions and public policy for poor households in India. Another strand of research examines how trade and global competition are affecting retail and manufacturing firms in North America.
