I'm on the #EconJobMarket! I study how policies and childhood environments shape outcomes of low-income & vulnerable kids. In my JMP, I study the effects of allowing youth who would have aged out of foster care at 18 to stay until 21—offering support their peers not in foster care get from parents.
🧵 of my favorite new papers that I saw at #ASHEcon2025 First up is “Stigmas and Social Safety Net Participation” from @kpukelis.bsky.social and Michael Holcomb which finds interesting stigma difference along political lines
Really excited for this year’s #ASHEcon2025 I’m presenting my JMP on Tuesday afternoon and am discussing 3 really interesting papers throughout the conference. Come say hi!
