INES LEE
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Economics at the University of York. I am also a Research Associate at the Institute for Fiscal Studies and a Research Affiliate at the Institute of Labor Economics.
Previously, I was a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge where I did my post-doctoral work. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Oxford in 2020.
My current research is in the fields of education and health economics. I'm interested in understanding the drivers of educational performance and health outcomes.
