Yumi Park

Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with expertise in international monetary and financial relations. I specialize in the politics of financial market development and bank lobbying on trade and financial market policies. My dissertation and book project investigates when and why countries develop larger, deeper and more globalized financial markets than others. My research also spans topics that lie at the intersection of international cooperation and domestic politics, such as currency swaps and bilateral investment treaties. Starting Summer 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor of International Economics, Government & Business (EGB) at Copenhagen Business School.
Outside of research and teaching, I enjoy swimming, traveling, and listening to podcasts about mathematicians in history.
