Professor Sun's research spans Real Estate Finance (home equity lending, mortgage crises, REIT performance), Corporate Finance (institutional investor monitoring), and Behavioral Finance (industry herding, momentum effects). His work frequently examines financial crisis implications through empirical analysis of market anomalies and real estate dynamics, bridging theoretical finance with practical market observations.

Recent publications (2012-2013) reveal dual research trajectories: real estate finance studies analyzing post-crisis mortgage markets and REIT performance in Real Estate Economics, alongside behavioral finance investigations of market anomalies in the Journal of Investing. This demonstrates consistent scholarly output at high-impact finance journals with practical relevance to financial regulation and investment strategies.

His interdisciplinary background combining economics, finance, and computer science enables unique methodological approaches to financial data analysis.
