Steven Lee

I am a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Brown University. My research interests are in labor economics, with a particular focus on the economics of education, and health economics.

I am currently on the 2025–26 academic job market in economics. My job market paper investigates how demographic "relatability" of content in standardized exams impacts  student test scores.

I am affiliated with both the Population Studies and Training Center and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University. I was previously a NIA T32 graduate fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Please see my CV for more information.
