    BioCaroline Hoxby is the Scott and Donya Bommer Professor of Economics at Stanford University, a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution, and the Director of the Economics of Education Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Before moving to Stanford, she was the Allie S. Fried Professor of Economics at Harvard University. A public and labor economist, Hoxby is one of the world's leading scholars in the Economics of Education. She is especially well known for promoting scientific methods in education research. She was the Principal Investigator of the Expanding College Opportunities project, which had dramatic effects on low-income, high achievers' college-going. For this project, recently received The Smithsonian Institution's Ingenuity Award. Some of the other research for which she is best known includes explaining the rising cost of higher education, the effects of school choice and charter schools on student achievement, and the effects of teacher unionization. She also writes on public school finance, peer effects, and how education affects economic growth. Her recent series of Tanner Lectures on Human Values (Berkeley) focuses on neuroscience and the cognitive skills of adolescents. She is a past Vice-President of the American Economic Association and the current Vice-President of the Western Economic Association International. Hoxby is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the British Academy, and the American Academy of Sciences and Letters.

  • Jackelyn Hwang

    Jackelyn Hwang

    Associate Professor of Sociology

    BioJackelyn Hwang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Director of the Changing Cities Research Lab. Jackelyn’s main research interests are in the fields of urban sociology, race and ethnicity, immigration, and inequality. In particular, her research uses innovative data, measures, and methods to answer: how do neighborhood-level dynamics that are typically racialized drive changes in US residential segregation? Her projects focus on how residential sorting mechanisms shape how gentrification unfolds over time and space, the consequences of gentrification on residential displacement, and developing data and measurement infrastructures for improving measures of gentrification, including developing automated methods using computer vision to measure visible neighborhood conditions and their changes over time from Google Street View imagery. By improving our understanding of urban change and segregation, her work aims to advance policy solutions that promote racial equity as cities change.

    Jackelyn received her B.A.S. in Sociology and Mathematics from Stanford University and her Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy from Harvard University. After completing her Ph.D., she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Office of Population Research at Princeton University. Her research has been supported by the American Sociological Association, the Joint Center for Housing Studies, the National Science Foundation, among others. Her work has appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, City & Community, Demography, Social Forces, Sociological Methods and Research, Sociological Methodology, and Urban Affairs Review, and other academic journals.
