As an applied microeconomist, Ang specializes in spatial econometric analysis of infrastructure spillovers, health policy impacts, and urban economic dynamics. His work integrates quantitative methods with regional development challenges, particularly examining how transportation networks and international initiatives like China's Belt and Road affect local economies. Current projects focus on health economics policy applications within Tulane's Murphy Institute framework.

His publication record reveals consistent methodological rigor across infrastructure analysis (2020-2021), international trade policy (2020), and energy economics (2017), demonstrating expertise in spatial modeling and policy evaluation within Southeast Asian contexts. These works collectively advance understanding of how physical and institutional infrastructure shapes economic outcomes in developing regions.
