Daehong Kim 

I am a PhD candidate at University College London (UCL), supervised by Nikki Shure and Hedvig Horváth.  

I am also a Senior Research Associate at the Korea Development Institute (KDI), where I conduct policy-oriented economic research and international development advisory work. Previously, I led KDI’s Global Partnership Team and Policy and Research Team.

My research lies in applied microeconomics, with a focus on labor, education, and development. I am particularly interested in how labor market institutions and policy reforms shape individual decisions and firm bahavior.
