معرفی
SangMok Lee is an Associate Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Theoretical Economics at Washington University in St. Louis. He holds a PhD in Economics from the California Institute of Technology (2012), and previously served as a lecturer and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's economics department before joining Washington University in 2017. His research focuses on microeconomic theory, game theory, revealed preference analysis, and matching theory, with notable contributions to market design, social learning, and strategic behavior in resource allocation.
Education: PhD in Economics, California Institute of Technology (2012).
Research Interests: Dr. Lee explores foundational questions in economic theory, including stable allocations in exchange economies, strategic behavior in queues, and the interplay between preferences and information. His work bridges theoretical rigor with practical applications in patent auctions, vaccine distribution, and school choice mechanisms. Recent studies investigate optimal dynamic matching algorithms and mechanisms for large-scale centralized markets.
Key Contributions: Lee's research emphasizes stability and efficiency in matching markets, with breakthroughs in partial identification of two-sided models and the theoretical foundations of money pump measures. His 2024 work on stable allocations in discrete economies and 2023 analysis of preference learning in school choice exemplify his commitment to advancing both theoretical frameworks and real-world policy design.
Grants & Advising: While specific grants are not detailed, Dr. Lee's directorship at the Center for Theoretical Economics suggests leadership in collaborative research initiatives. No formal advisees are listed in the current data.
Labs/Teams: Oversees the Center for Theoretical Economics, fostering interdisciplinary research in economic theory and its applications.
