Sang Yoon (Tim) Lee is currently a reader in Queen Mary University of London. He previously held assistant professor positions at Toulouse School of Economics and University of Mannheim. He received his Ph.D. in economics from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011. His primary research interests are the determinants and mechanisms of economic inequality in macroeconomic settings.
