Research Statement
Yewon Kim’s research interests lie broadly on what information a brand conveys to consumers and how consumers respond to new information triggered by firms’ marketing strategies. Kim focuses on the arts industry as an empirical setting, as its market structure as well as the experiential nature of the products (e.g., classical music concerts, art exhibitions) constitute interesting quantitative marketing laboratories to study consumer preferences and their relationships with brand.
