About the Lab
Professor Jin-yeop Kim's research lab specializes in information economics, behavioral economics, and general equilibrium analysis with a focus on information dissemination, inequality, and welfare implications in strategic economic environments. The lab investigates how public and private information affect individual decision-making, market outcomes, and social welfare, particularly in settings with asymmetric information and strategic complementarities or substitutabilities. Current research explores the design of transparent information policies to mitigate information inequality while preserving efficiency and welfare gains. The lab also examines the interplay between information precision, individual heterogeneity, and economic performance in decentralized economies.

1Transparent disclosures of public information might be one natural policy to reduce information inequality among individuals. We conduct a welfare analysis of such policy by introducing ex-ante heterogeneity in individuals’ private information in a class of economies with dispersed information and strategic complementarity or substitutability. We find that better private information for already privately better-informed individuals increases welfare, even though it may be accompanied by greater
