Nathan Chi-Chung Yang

Nathan Chi-Chung Yang serves as Associate Professor in Business Administration at the University of Illinois. His academic work focuses on industrial organization and strategic market behavior within retail and competitive environments.

His research interests center on Industrial Organization, specializing in Dynamic Games, Oligopoly Theory, and Retail Market Dynamics. Key areas include market entry strategies, spillover effects in firm expansion, and organizational-form choices in franchising systems. His methodological approach combines game-theoretic modeling with empirical analysis of retail chain behavior.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on strategic interactions in oligopolistic markets, particularly examining deterrence motives, preemptive entry, and size-related spillovers in retail contexts. His work frequently employs advanced econometric techniques to analyze real-world market dynamics, with significant attention to fast-food and retail chain industries.

Yang maintains active research collaborations across multiple institutions, evidenced by co-authored publications in top-tier journals. His work demonstrates strong engagement with both theoretical frameworks and empirical validation of market behavior models.
