Benjamin Goldman

I will be joining Cornell University in July 2025 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. I am currently a postdoc at Cornell and a research affiliate at Opportunity Insights, the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities, the Cornell Population Center, and EdRedesign. My research lies at the intersection of labor and public economics, focusing on class- and race-based economic disparities in the United States, with particular attention to the role of family formation in shaping these gaps. I received my PhD from Harvard University in 2024.
