Professor Mei's research centers on international asset pricing, real asset finance, art markets, and market manipulation. He pioneered the Sotheby's Mei Moses Fine Art Price Indices, which revolutionized art investment analysis by providing empirical benchmarks for art valuation and performance. His work uniquely bridges financial theory with practical applications in cultural economics and alternative investments, particularly exploring how art functions as a distinct asset class.
His publication trajectory reveals evolving expertise from foundational asset pricing models in the 1990s toward specialized art market economics and behavioral manipulation studies in recent years. This progression demonstrates consistent contributions to both mainstream finance journals and niche cultural economics, with recent work focusing on art investment strategies and behavioral market manipulation mechanisms.
