Tucker Smith

Welcome to my website! I am an applied microeconomist and recently joined the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas as a Research Economist. You can download my CV here.

My research lies at the intersection of public, labor, education, and urban economics.  I primarily study shocks affecting vulnerable populations between youth and young adulthood and whether public policies and programs can help mitigate harmful long-term effects. Because supporting such populations requires effective policy design, a complementary research branch examines equity and efficiency in public good provision. 

I completed my PhD in Economics at Vanderbilt University with support from the American Educational Research Association via a 2022 Dissertation Grant.
