Yu Kyung Koh

I am an applied microeconomist with a Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University (2023). Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at McGill University. 

My research focuses on applied microeconomics, with particular interests in labor and family economics. I use rich datasets, causal inference methods, and structural modeling to study household decision-making and how it responds to economic conditions and policy. My work examines topics such as consumption and time use within households, labor market shocks, and marriage market dynamics.

I am also interested in applying machine learning and NLP to uncover insights from data. Check out my applied projects here.
