Dohyeon Lee

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020, and currently a research associate at UC Santa Cruz. My research fields include macroeconomics, international economics, and firm dynamics. In my current job market paper, I explain why the entry rate of new firms can decline without any exogenous forces, which also leads to the productivity slowdown at the extensive margin.
