I am a Senior Fellow in NORC, a research fellow at IZA, and a Professor at the Harris School of Public Policy Studies, the College, and the Committee on Quantitative Methods in Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences at the University of Chicago. My research focuses on labor economics, economic demography, urban economics, and measurement. I have the privilege of being a Fellow of the Society of Labor Economists.
I serve on the editorial board of Journal of Labor Economics, Labour Economics, and the Journal of Urban Economics. I have served on panels for the Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, and the National Academy of Science, and I have served as a consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank, the New Zealand government, and The Australian governments. Before joining the Harris School, I was on faculty at the University of Kentucky and Syracuse University, and held visiting appointments at the University of Chicago, Australian National University, and Carnegie Mellon University.
