Jee-Yeon Lehmann Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Houston
Jee-Yeon Lehmann is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the
University of Houston. Her research focuses on understanding of
the causes and consequences of inequalities and discrimination in
the labor and legal markets. Her work has provided a theoretical
and empirical framework for explaining 1) large and persisting
divergence in the hiring and promotion rates of minorities in
large organizations, 2) wage and employment gaps between black
and white and workers across their skill distributions, and 3)
systematic bias in the selection of juries and its relation to
discriminatory trial outcomes. She received her Ph.D. in
Economics from Boston University in 2012.
Timothy N. Bond is an Assistant Professor of Economics in the
Krannert School of Management at Purdue University. He has
studied a wide-range of topics in labor economics, including the
consequences of arbitrary scaling assumptions on the black-white
achievement gap, the reasons for heterogeneous promotion behavior
across firms, and the impact of geographically asymmetric
information on intergenerational mobility. He received his PhD in
economics from Boston University in 2012.
