I am Su-Min Lee, Principal Economist at London Economics, focusing on how economics can inform education and labour market policy.

My research using empirical microeconomic techniques have been used to inform policy across a range of UK government departments (Department for International Trade, Department for Education, Low Pay Commission). 

I completed a PhD in Economics at the University of Cambridge in 2021. My thesis ('Inequality in Political Representation') asked why some groups (such as women and the working class) are consistently under-represented in politics.

My research interests revolve around economic inequality and politics.

Views are my own and do not represent the views of London Economics, with the exception of London Economics publications.
