JAECHEOL LEE

I am currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Climate Impact Lab, a collaborative initiative bridging academia and industry to assess the social costs of climate change. As part of the Coastal Analysis team, my research focuses on evaluating increased risks from wind and flood damage in coastal regions due to climate change.

I earned my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from UC Berkeley. Prior to that, I completed my B.A. in Economics (double major in Spanish) and an M.A. in International Studies from Seoul National University.

I was selected as a Beijer Young Scholar by the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and received a 2017 Fulbright Scholarship sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Fields of Interest:

• Primary: Environmental Economics, Urban Economics
