Research

research overview

• Professor Wolfgang Keller has done research on the structure of activities of multinational firms and international trade. He also continued his research towards a better understanding of the role of the 19th century in China's economic development until today. Professor Keller has also started a new project on innovation in the age of offshoring. He has also begun to study the persistence of elites in the Ming-Qing transition.
