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.

I'm John Fallon, a labor economist on the job market. My JMP uncovers something wild: when chiropractors got licensed in the early 1900s, medical boards responded by making it HARDER to become a doctor.
Why would competition lead to stricter regulations?

5 years post-pandemic, Massachusetts public schools have seen sustained enrollment declines. Is this a temporary disruption, or did the pandemic change how families evaluate schools?
@joshua-goodman.com, Abigail Francis, & James Wyckoff will dig into the data with Susanna Loeb.

I'd like to highlight how speedy and thoughtful the review process was at Econ of Ed Review.
We submitted this (fairly short) article via its expedited review process, which resulted in two quick reports, a small revision, and a published manuscript, all in two months.
More of this, please!

Really enjoyed my time at UC-Davis’s Emerging Scholars Panel with other amazing junior scholars (and exploring Davis’ beautiful campus)!
Super thought-provoking discussions about how we can use critical perspectives to meet the current moment at both the classroom and policy/system level.
