My research focuses on topics in labor economics and applied microeconomics. In particular, I study how educational and career dynamics are affected by public policy. Much of my work considers how policies affect the acquisition of human capital.

    This research investigates the causes and consequences of residential eviction for low-income American families. The investigators assemble a novel dataset on over 700,000 eviction court cases from Cook County, IL, and link these cases to several administrative datasets, which allows them to measure: (1) household relocation, including neighborhood choice, household composition, and homelessness; (2) financial health, including employment, earnings, public assistance receipt, and access to credit; and (3) children's educational outcomes, including school switching, disenrollment, absenteeism, academic achievement, and behavioral incidents. This research uses a quasi-experimental research design to identify the causal impact of eviction on these outcomes. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

    This research project will study the earnings and careers of highly educated men and women, with a focus on graduate education. A large fraction of college graduates choose to obtain an advanced degree, but there is little reliable information about the labor market payoff to graduate study. The project will provide estimates for men and for women of the value of an Masters in Business Administration (MBA), a Juris Doctor (JD), a Master of Science (MS) in engineering, and several other advanced degrees. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
