He is completing papers on "Government Incentives and Firm Location Choices," "Determinants of Storefront Vacancies," and "State Competition for Firms within Regions."

Professor Kim began his work at Iowa State in August 2019. His work and interests fit our research objectives quite well, and he has initiated his research agenda on government policy, entrepreneurship and growth. He adds sorely needed expertise on economic development policy and the extent to which it attracts and retains firms.
