He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2009 and has since established himself as a leading scholar in macroeconomic theory, particularly within the Post-Keynesian and Minskyan traditions. His research focuses on income and wealth inequality, financial instability, fiscal and monetary policy, and the macroeconomic implications of financialization.

Ryoo's research interests center on demand-led growth, endogenous financial fragility, and the dynamics of inequality in capitalist economies. He develops theoretical models to explore how financial structures, distributional changes, and policy rules affect macroeconomic stability. His work often integrates insights from Kaldor, Minsky, and Keynes to analyze boom-bust cycles, the paradox of debt, and the role of public policy in maintaining full employment.
His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on macroeconomic modeling with an emphasis on financial instability and inequality. He frequently employs stock-flow consistent models, overlapping generations frameworks, and behavioral assumptions to analyze long-run trends. His work shows a strong theoretical orientation, often co-authored with Peter Skott, and appears in top heterodox economics journals such as Cambridge Journal of Economics, Metroeconomica, and Review of Keynesian Economics.
