Irwin Garfinkel
Columbia University
Visiting Scholar
2005 to 2006
Irwin Garfinkel, Mitchell I. Ginsberg Professor of Contemporary Urban Problems at Columbia University, will be at the Foundation during the fall semester to co-author a book about the U.S. welfare state that will measure the size and scope of welfare expenditure, document its historical development, and provide international comparisons. The book will be intended for a lay audience and will explore issues such as whether welfare states undermine or support economic productivity and whether government transfers crowd out private assistance.
Susan J. Lambert
University of Chicago
Visiting Scholar
2016 to 2017
Lambert will write a book that examines how employer scheduling practices create social and economic inequality and considers strategies for improving schedule stability and predictability in hourly jobs. She will investigate what drives precarious scheduling practices, how they vary across occupations and industries, which employees are most affected by them, and how these practices contribute to inequality in the workplace.
Ronald B. Mincy
Columbia University
Visiting Scholar
2015 to 2016
In collaboration with Natasha J. Cabrera, Mincy will examine the connections between low-income fathers’ earnings and financial support and their children’s cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Using several waves of data from the Fragile Families Study, Cabrera and Mincy will explore how the associations between fathers’ earnings and children’s skills are affected by factors such as race, maternal stress, parental engagement, and child care quality.
