His research centers on urban economics and housing policy, specifically examining how housing affordability and residential segregation impact household welfare, opportunity access, and intergenerational mobility in major metropolitan areas. Park develops evidence-based housing policies to reduce segregation and promote societal integration, with recent work analyzing welfare effects when low-income and minority households gain access to higher-opportunity neighborhoods. His methodological approach combines applied microeconomic modeling with empirical analysis of residential equilibrium dynamics.
Park maintains active institutional affiliations through UHERO's economic research initiatives and the HCRC Professorship, which focuses on translating academic research into practical affordable housing solutions for Hawaii communities.
