Oliver Kim is a PhD candidate in Economics at UC Berkeley. His advisors are Edward Miguel, Benjamin Faber, Jón Steinsson, and Barry Eichengreen. His research interests are in development and economic history. One example of his work was a focus on rural roots of China’s miracle—in particular, the end of collective agriculture in the early 1980s—by applying machine learning to historical satellite imagery. His other research includes both historical work on the rise of East Asia and contemporary fieldwork in Kenya.

In our episode we discuss the historical economic development of East Asia in the 20th century. Notable cases include South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China.
