Yuhei Miyauchi

Welcome to my website!

I am an assistant professor at the Department of Economics at Boston University. 

Main Field: Economic Geography, International Trade

Research Statement (March 2026)

My primary research focus is on how networks of production, demand, and human mobility shape socioeconomic activity within cities and across regions and countries, and how these forces influence the design of optimal policies. 

I tackle these questions using a combination of theories from trade, urban, and macro economics, as well as new sources of granular data, such as firm-to-firm trade and smartphone location data.

In 2025, my research was recognized by the August Lösch Prize for outstanding research in Regional Science.

During the academic year 2025-2026, I am visiting Princeton University as an IES Kenen Fellow (Room 295 @ 399 JULIS ROMO RABINOWITZ BUILDING).
