Jason Cook is an economist who specializes in combining restricted-access administrative records with quasi-experiments to explore topics at the intersection of labor and public economics with applications in the economics of education.

他有一个从康奈尔大学经济学博士学位y. His current work focuses on estimating how student outcomes were impacted by the school segregation resulting from terminating race-blind admissions lotteries. Jason also has several papers exploring the impacts and determinants of charter school competition. His previous work studies the effect of charter schools on traditional school resource allocation. Current work examines how charter competition impacts voting behavior and whether district expenditures can shield against future charter transfers. In a separate strand of work, he is studying the impact of SNAP eligibility requirements on labor supply and the prevalence of income misreporting using statewide administrative SNAP records combined with restricted-access Census products.
