2019 Graduate Achievement Award recipient
“After working with labor statistics at the Ministry of Labor and Employment in Korea, I wanted to study labor economics in both theoretical and empirical ways. At Ole Miss I study gender wage gap and women’s labor supply with my advisor, Dr. Kolesnikova. The purpose of my project is to explain the labor supply of educated women. I have found that highly educated married women with children work less given their high average wage.
“For another project, I address the difference in labor supplies of single and married women from the perspective of the reservation wage and wage distribution. After graduation, I would like to continue to study women’s labor supply.”
