Education:

PhDNorthwestern University2002
B.A., Magna Cum LaudeJohns Hopkins University1997
Specialties:

Microeconomics
Research Interests: Labor Economics, Public Finance

Current projects: Current projects include examining the extent to which married women's labor supply elasticities have changed over the past few decades, evaluating the effect of the EITC on the labor supply of married couples, and estimating the timing and magnitude of the response of household consumption to tax changes.

Bradley Heim joined the faculty at Duke in Fall, 2002, after receiving his Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University. He also holds a B.A. in Economics and Mathematical Sciences from Johns Hopkins University. Specializing in empirical public finance and labor economics, his research studies the effects of government tax and spending policies on individuals' and families' behavior. Current projects include examining the extent to which married women's labor supply elasticities have changed over the past few decades, evaluating the effect of the EITC on the labor supply of married couples, and estimating the timing and magnitude of the response of household consumption to tax changes. Other recent projects include studying methods of estimating the labor supply effects of the tax system under weakened assumptions, evaluating the effects of the Tax Relief Act of 2001 on the labor supply of married couples, and using state programs to study consumers' responses to tax rebates. He teaches intermediate microeconomics and graduate labor economics.
