Shih-Wen Liu applies economic expertise to support clients in litigation and policy matters, particularly in the communications and internet sectors. Her work spans areas including consumer protection, market competition, and intellectual property.
Specifically, Dr. Liu’s experience includes analyzing large datasets in consumer protection class actions, evaluating the impact of public policies on competition within internet service markets, designing surveys to understand consumer decision making in false advertising claims, and estimating how cease-and-desist orders affect public interest in patent infringement disputes.
Dr. Liu’s doctoral research focuses on stable allocations in two-sided markets (e.g., buyers-sellers and employees-employers). Her research combines economic theory and experiments to conduct causal inference and translate data into clear insights about how individuals and groups make decisions.
