Ben Glasner, PhD

I received my Ph.D. from the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington in 2021. I received my B.A. in Economics from Vassar College in the spring of 2016 and started my Ph.D. program at Evans in the fall of 2016.

In my current role, I conduct analyses of the effects of major social policies and reforms thereto on the poverty rate and other key indicators of well-being. These include long-term studies of the intergenerational transmission of poverty, but also studies of contemporary policies and their effects. All the work involves the research programs of Principal Investigators Irwin Garfinkel, Jane Waldfogel, and Christopher Wimer.
