Assoc Prof Dr. Lianhong QIU | Data Analysis | Best Researcher Award

Guangdong Provincial Party School of the CPC | China

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lianhong Qiu is a distinguished scholar and academic at the Guangdong Provincial Party School of the Communist Party of China (CPC). With a firm grounding in economics and governance, he has cultivated an academic profile that blends theoretical rigor with practical application. His scholarly work addresses the intersections of climate risk, industrial development, and technological transformation, particularly within the context of China’s evolving energy and policy landscape. His research reflects a commitment to exploring actionable solutions that align economic growth with environmental sustainability and energy security.

Professional Profile

SCOPUS

Education

Dr. Qiu earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the prestigious Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC, now recognized as the National Academy of Governance. His academic journey was grounded in comprehensive training in macroeconomics, industrial policy, and state governance, equipping him with the tools to dissect complex systemic interactions within China’s socio-economic framework. This background provided the foundation for his interdisciplinary approach to economic research, incorporating advanced econometric methods, risk analysis, and policy impact evaluation.

Experience

As an Associate Professor at the Guangdong Provincial Party School of the CPC, Dr. Qiu plays a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual discourse on economic transformation and governance. He is actively involved in training government officials and contributing to the academic development of future policy leaders. His teaching covers subjects related to industrial economics, climate economics, and innovation policy, while his administrative contributions support academic research and institutional collaboration. His experience extends beyond academia into policy consultancy, where he offers insights into the real-world implications of emerging economic trends.

Research Interest

Dr. Qiu’s primary research interest lies in industrial economic development, with a strong emphasis on the interface between environmental risks and technological advancement. His recent work addresses the dynamic interactions among climate physical risk (PRI), transition risk (TRI), and new energy vehicle (NEV) adoption in China. By applying time-varying parameter vector autoregression models with stochastic volatility, he introduces innovative tools for quantifying the evolving relationships between these variables. This methodological approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the cause-effect mechanisms underpinning industrial and environmental shifts, especially within the energy and transportation sectors.

He also explores asymmetric impacts and feedback loops—for instance, while physical climate risks may suppress consumer uptake of NEVs, transition-related regulatory pressures tend to encourage their adoption. Additionally, his findings highlight that while NEV growth mitigates physical climate risk, it may also exacerbate transition risk under certain conditions. These insights have significant implications for balancing industrial policy, environmental sustainability, and energy strategy.

Award

Dr. Qiu’s contributions have been recognized within academic and policy-making circles for their methodological sophistication and relevance to contemporary governance challenges. His research has been acknowledged for its impact on policy design and strategic planning in the field of green transition and industrial transformation. By offering empirical insights that align with China’s dual-carbon goals, his work is instrumental in shaping regional and national strategies for green innovation, energy resilience, and climate adaptation.
