Hello, I am Soomi Lee.

I am a Professor in the Department of Public Administration at the University of La Verne. My research focuses on public finance, political economy, and urban economics, with particular attention to property taxation, metropolitan governance, and federal and regional fiscal policies shaping inclusive growth and economic recovery. I received my inter-field Ph.D. in Economics and Political Science from Claremont Graduate University.
