I’m thrilled today to welcome the brilliant and creative Hajin Kim, an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Chicago. Hajin uses principles from social psychology and economics to study how moral and social influence can shape environmental regulation and firm behavior. She joins us today to discuss her new working paper, Does Paying to Pollute Make Pollution Seem Less Bad? UVA Law 3L, Cyrus Tafti, joins me as co-host on this episode.
Hajin received her BA in economics, summa cum laude, from Harvard, her JD from Stanford Law School, and her PhD from Stanford's Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources. Before attending Stanford, Hajin worked for the Boston Consulting Group. She clerked for Judge Paul Watford of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the US Supreme Court.
