Hi, I'm Gordon Ji.

I am an empirical industrial organization economist. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2026 and a B.S. in Statistics and Economics from the University of Chicago in 2018. I will be joining Econic Partners LLC in Oakland as an Associate Economist.

My research sits at the intersection of structural economics and public policy, with a specific focus on optimal pricing in the environmental and transportation sectors. I specialize in applying structural IO methods, causal inference, and machine learning techniques to massive datasets to solve complex liability, pricing, and antitrust problems.

Outside of economics, I am a big fan of the live EDM scene, deep strategy games like Balatro, and exploring the local food scene—as long as there are no pickles involved.
