Professor Shin's current research focuses on the political economy of international migration and inequality. In particular, his research examines the implications of international migration flows and patterns for global economic integration, including national economic policies, interstate cooperation, and international governance. His most recent manuscripts examine how elected officials frame their online messages on globalization in response to increasing deindustrialization in the US. In addition to research on migration, Professor Shin's inequality research program explores tax policies of advanced democracies. His current research examines how mass warfare has affected the economic fortunes of various elites, which in turn shaped the domestic politics of taxation and foreign economic policies. His research has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals, including Comparative Political Studies, Economics and Politics, and International Studies Quarterly.
