Welcome! My name is Seoyun Hong, and I also go by Stella.
In August 2026, I will join Georgia State University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics. I received a PhD in Economics from Boston University in 2026.
My research is at the intersection of econometrics and applied microeconomics, including labor economics and industrial organization. In econometrics, I develop new causal inference methods that leverage machine learning and high-dimensional data. In applied microeconomics, I develop estimators tailored to each problem to study empirical questions, including the gender wage gap across work hours and the effects of collusion on prices in procurement auctions.
