Harrison Yongjoon Youn
Economics PhD Candidate
The Ohio State University
My research focuses on Labor Economics, Health Economics, and Economics of AI, Science, and Innovation.
In my work, I combine data and causal inference to answer my questions. I am interested in how the labor market and healthcare system interact, how these interactions reshape incentives, drive employer and employee behavior, and redistribute market frictions, benefits, and costs.
I am also interested in how artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific knowledge spillover shape human capital formation and labor market outcomes.
Previously, I served as a research associate at the
National University of Singapore (NUS) for two years.
