Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record appears to mix work from multiple distinct researchers who share the name Yi Gao, spanning air transportation economics (airport revenue, airline business models, flight delays) alongside unrelated fields like metallurgy, virology, and cancer biology. Based on the titles most aligned with the stated Economics/Finance area, the relevant work focuses on airport and airline industry performance, including revenue patterns, regional airport viability, and the effects of e-commerce and aircraft aging on aviation operations. Prospective students should verify which specific publications belong to this PI, as the topic list and venues suggest overlapping author names rather than one unified research program.

Publication counts have grown markedly over the last decade, rising from about 1 per year in 2017-2018 to 12-18 per year in 2024-2025, though this apparent growth may partly reflect aggregation of multiple same-named authors rather than a single researcher's increasing output.
