Biography
Yoonseok Lee is an Associate Professor of
Economics and a Senior
Research Associate in the Center for Policy Research. His research interests are in econometric
theory and applied econometrics. For econometric theory, the topics focus on
semi-parametric dynamic panel data models, treatment effect in panel data, many
weak instrumental variables problems, and model selection in high dimensional
models. For applied topics, he uses semi-parametric panel data models to study
cross country growth, environmental Kuznets curve, motorcycle helmet use regulation,
smoking during pregnancy, medical treatment effects, crime and inequality,
firm-level production function estimation, and relation between exporting and
firm stock market value. For more policy-oriented topics, he is interested in
social interaction models and income polarization problem. Yoonseok received his Ph.D. in economics from Yale University in 2006.
