About Me

My name is Jun Hyun Yun. I am an associate research fellow at the Korea Labor Institute. I am an empirical microeconomist who conducts research in labor economics, public finance, and health economics. I also have real-world policymaking experiences since I worked in the Prime Minister’s Office of the Republic of Korea as an expert advisor for 2 years, from August 2022 to July 2024.

I strongly believe that insights and intuitions from economics can be helpful for creating a better world. In addition, I have a deep interest in history and philosophy, especially modern Korean history. It is my conviction that humanities can deepen the understanding of our society and suggest the right directions for how to use the knowledge of social sciences for our world. 

Personally, I am a big fan of the LG Twins, a South Korean professional baseball team, which won the Korean Series in 2023 and 2025 during the last 3 seasons.
