Jae Wook Jung

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Northeastern University. I am on the 2026–27 job market.

I am a labor economist researching how public policy shapes labor markets, and how the structure of those labor markets in turn shapes human capital. I am also interested in firm behavior, such as how firms hire and how their productivity changes when they adopt new technologies like AI.

Fields: Labor Economics, Development Economics, Empirical Industrial Organization
