Sun completed her postdoctoral period at the Economic Growth Center at Yale University as well as a brief research stay at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. She received her Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia University. Her primary research interests include the role of public policies in understanding inequality, urban and housing development, and building large-scale data infrastructures via record linkage. During her doctoral study, Lee won several grants from the National Science Foundation to investigate various aspects of inequality during America’s urbanization. For example, her research investigates how the provision of urban transportation infrastructure in New York City facilitated residential racial segregation. In other work, she has created new data to assess intergenerational social mobility across almost 100 years of U.S. history. Learn more about Sun by visiting her website.
