Yoonha Kim

Yoonha Kim joins the faculty of McDonough School of Business as a visiting Assistant Professor in the Strategy, Economics, and Public Policy group. She received her PhD from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Her research interest lies in the intersection of personnel economics and entrepreneurship. In her current research, she investigates how labor market frictions manifest themselves in firms' hiring decisions and workers' occupational choice. Since these evaluations must consider the decision of individuals to start new businesses, her research also evaluates formation of small businesses; her current research studies this in the context of immigrant workers in the U.S. Prior to her doctoral degree at UC Berkeley, Yoonha had worked at Morgan Stanley in New York and holds a B.Sc in Applied Math-Economics from Brown University.
