Jung Sook You serves as Professor in the Department of Economics at California State University, East Bay within the College of Business and Economics. She advanced from Assistant Professor (2014-2020) to Associate Professor (2020-2025) before achieving Full Professor status in 2025, maintaining continuous faculty appointment with no indication of part-time status.
Her academic credentials include:
- PhD and MA in Economics specializing in Mechanism Design from Rice University
- MA in Econometrics from Seoul National University
- BS in Statistics with Economics minor from Seoul National University
Dr. You's research program integrates theoretical rigor with real-world applications across four interconnected domains: Market Design (focusing on strategy-proof allocation mechanisms), Energy/Environmental Economics (examining electricity pricing and nuclear power economics), Public Economics (analyzing regulatory frameworks), and Experimental Economics (testing theoretical predictions through controlled studies). Her methodology bridges game theory, econometrics, and experimental approaches to address resource allocation challenges.
Publication analysis reveals a distinct trajectory from foundational theoretical work (2015-2018 VCG mechanism studies) toward applied energy economics (2017-2022 nuclear power and electricity pricing research), while maintaining parallel contributions to experimental methodology and economics education. The 2025 pre-merger study demonstrates continued innovation in experimental industrial organization.
No scientific awards or fellowships are documented in available materials.
While doctoral advisees aren't publicly listed, Dr. You actively mentors through undergraduate research initiatives including OSCAR and CSR advisory roles. Her grant activities focus on curriculum development, evidenced by $10,000 South Korean government scholarship fundraising.
She leads interdisciplinary sustainability efforts as Center on Climate, Health and Sustainable Futures member and CSU-WATER Campus Representative, while co-chairing Faculty Learning Communities for anti-racist teaching and AI education integration.
