Professor Jason Wong is an applied microeconomist interested in using quantitative methods to study how different forms of connectivity affect and interact with economic life. Connectivity can be physical, such as through physical infrastructure like electricity and aviation. It can also be non-tangible, such as through language, social networks, public health, and the environment. His work seeks to advance how different forms of connectivity impact regional and sustainable development. His research has been published in World Development, Energy Economics, and Energy Policy, among other peer-reviewed journals.
Professor Wong grew up in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and he joins Babson by way of Los Angeles, London, Berlin, New York, and Washington D.C.. He is a Visiting Fellow at the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). This Fall, he is a Visiting Professor at the Toulouse School of Economics.
Professor Wong is an award-winning educator, having won the 2020 London School of Economics Student Union Award for Masters Supervision and the 2017 Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching at Columbia University. He is also passionate about sustainable entrepreneurship education. Since 2021, he has co-directed the Global Circular Challenge at the LSE, a unique case competition that blends circular economy with design thinking.
Prior to Babson, Professor Wong was a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Occidental College and LSE Fellow in Environmental Economics. He holds a PhD from Columbia University. He is fluent in German, Cantonese, and Mandarin and is currently learning French and Japanese. He studied abroad at the University of Tübingen (three months) and Leuphana University of Lüneburg (Academic Year) where he was a German
Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Undergraduate Scholar. He holds the Goethe Institute Großes Deutsches Sprachdiplom and the NYU Deutsches Haus Certificate C2. He was one of 8 International Parliamentary Fellows selected to represent the U.S. at the German Parliament for five months in 2018.
Last June, he led 18 students from Occidental in Los Angeles on a course abroad in Germany for three weeks to study the political economy of sustainable development, including visits to firms and institutions in Stuttgart, Freiburg, Hamburg, and Berlin. He is excited to lead the course again with Boston-based Babson students.
