Welcome!
I am Amber Xiaoyan Liu. I am an Assistant Professor in Information Systems & Analytics department at the Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University.
My current research focuses on issues related to (i) socially responsible operations, and (ii) marketplace operations. The first stream of my research provides insights into the societal impact of certain economic policies. The second stream involves developing matching algorithms for online platforms and deploying field experiments. I apply a suite of data-driven methodologies including predictive analytics, causal inference, and field experimentation. Some of my research also lies in the operations-finance and operations-marketing interface.
