Seungjin Han

Seungjin Han is a Professor in the Department of Economics at McMaster University, specializing in economic theory with applications in game theory, mechanism design, and public policy. His work bridges theoretical rigor with practical economic questions in taxation, matching markets, and corporate finance.

His academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Economics from Korea University, Seoul; Master of Arts in Economics from McGill University, Montreal; and PhD in Economics from the University of Toronto.

Research interests center on competing mechanism games, signaling theory, and market design. Key contributions address equilibrium analysis in strategic environments, tax incidence in differentiated markets, and incentive structures in matching frameworks. His theoretical work frequently appears in top journals like the Journal of Economic Theory and Journal of Mathematical Economics.

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent focus on competing mechanisms and signaling dynamics, with growing emphasis on policy-relevant applications in public finance and labor markets. Over half his work involves collaborative research networks spanning international institutions.

Teaching encompasses graduate-level Microeconomic Theory (ECON 721), Mathematical Methods (ECON 765), and Advanced Economic Theory (ECON 4T03) since 2017, reflecting deep engagement with core economic methodology.
