Benjamin Goldman

I will be joining Cornell University in 2025 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. Currently, I am a postdoc at Cornell University and a research affiliate at Opportunity Insights, the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities, and EdRedesign. My research focuses on labor and public economics, with an emphasis on race- and class-based economic disparities in the United States. I study the sources of these disparities and assess policies designed to mitigate them. I received my PhD from Harvard University in 2024.
