Byung-Cheol (BC) Kim (김병철)

Hello! I am a Professor in Economics at the Culverhouse College of Business at the University of Alabama, being honored as a Rick and Elaine Horsley Faculty Fellow. Before the UA, I worked at the Georgia Institute of Technology (2008-2017). I received a Ph.D. in Economics (2007) from Michigan State University, and a B.A. in Economics from Seoul National University, South Korea.
My primary research field is Industrial Organization. I have studied the economics of the Internet, particularly the topics of network neutrality regulations, digital privacy issues, and multisided platforms. I have also studied firm behaviors in terms of pricing, innovation, investment, litigation, and compliance with regulations.
The research articles have been published in highly regarded journals such as American Economic Journal: Microeconomics, Rand Journal of Economics, Journal of Law and Economics, Journal of Public Economics, European Economic Review, Research Policy, Journal of Industrial Economics, International Journal of Industrial Organization, and other respectable outlets. You may find my selected publications here.
I have taught Microeconomics, Industrial Organization, and Mathematical Economics with a great passion for students' success. You may find my teaching folio here.
I serve as an Associate Editor for Information Economics and Policy and the Secretary-General (2020-2022) for the Korea-America Economic Association (www.kaea.org).

Solely due to grace, I am a saved sinner of Jesus Christ, a son of loving parents, a beloved husband, a blessed dad of beautiful three kids. So I cannot but confess, "I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant." (Genesis 32:10)
주께서 주의 종에게 베푸신 이 모든 은총과 모든 진실을 이 종은 감히 받을 자격이 없습니다.
