Joshua Goodman

I’m an Associate Professor at Boston University, jointly appointed at the Wheelock College of Education and at the Department of Economics. I work as an applied microeconomist on labor economics and education policy. My research focuses on quasi-experimental estimation of the impacts of educational interventions. My overarching goal is to provide rigorous quantitative evidence that illuminates how schools and labor markets work, particularly with respect to postsecondary and STEM education. My work has been published in a variety of peer-reviewed outlets. It has been cited in multiple White House reports and featured by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and National Public Radio. I serve as co-editor of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) and am a research fellow of NBER and CESifo. Much of my policy-related work is done as a faculty affiliate of the BU Wheelock Education Policy Center (WEPC).
