My name is Eunjee Kwon (Korean: 권은지), and I am the West Shell Jr. Assistant Professor of Real Estate in the Department of Finance at the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Lindner College of Business. As an urban and real estate economist, I study the causes and consequences of mobility and how spatial technological shocks shape the evolution of places. At Lindner, I teach courses on real estate principles and valuation.
I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Southern California (2021) and have collaborated with policy institutions including the World Bank, the City of Los Angeles, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Born and raised in a suburb of Seoul, South Korea, I have lived in Singapore, Barcelona, Los Angeles, and now Cincinnati, OH, a city I have truly fallen in love with and where I started my family!
I chair the AREUEA Virtual Seminar Series. If you would like to be added to the distribution list, please email me at eunjee.econ.job@gmail.com.
