His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Agricultural and Development Economics, University of California-Davis, USA

Dr. Gong's research examines public policy impacts and market mechanisms within agrifood systems under market imperfections and climate change, with emphasis on welfare implications. His work spans agricultural economics, development economics, industrial organization, and environmental economics, investigating phenomena like markup dynamics in US grocery chains, land ownership security in Nicaragua, and drought effects on fresh produce markets. Methodologically, he combines microeconomic theory with empirical analysis of real-world market data.
His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on market structure analysis in food retail sectors, particularly examining how economic cycles affect pricing power and consumer welfare in grocery systems. The research demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between agricultural policy, climate adaptation, and market efficiency.
Dr. Gong teaches ABIZ 2520: Introduction to Management Science. While specific grant details aren't provided, his active research projects suggest ongoing funded investigations into agrifood market dynamics.
