Welcome to Chris Lien's home page!

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the College of Management, National Taiwan University. My research primarily focuses on corporate finance, examining the impact of credit and liquidity on businesses and the macroeconomy.

I earned a Ph.D. in Finance from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2023, where my dissertation committee included Prof. Heitor Almeida (Chair), Rustom Irani, Qiping Xu, and Stefan Zeume. Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained a master's degree in Finance and Economics with distinction from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and a B.A. in Information Management from Central Police University.
