Background
Botao Yang's research interests include Technology Adoption, Dynamic Discrete Choice Models, Empirical Industrial Organization, Applied Game Theory and Behavioral Economics. Methodologically, he does both structural modeling and analytical modeling. His current research examines 1) measuring consumers' adoption costs of new technology products; 2) how strategic thinking affects firms' technology adoption decisions; 3) the product strategies of firms that are secondary entrants into a market where consumers are uncertain about the secondary entrants' product quality; 4) the relation between callers' social ties and their wireless phone service consumption. He has published in the Journal of Marketing Research. He is a winner of the 2008 MSI Alden G. Clayton Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Competition.
