Minji Kwak

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Southern California (USC). In Fall 2026, I will join the KDI School of Public Policy and Management as an Assistant Professor.

I am a development economist specializing in political economy, economics of education, and urban economics.  My research explores governance, education, and migration in low-income countries with a behavioral and gender perspective.
