Amanda Agan’s research lies at the intersections of economics,
law, and public policy with a focus on the economics of crime and
labor market discrimination. Her work tries studies the
consequences and determinants of criminal legal involvement and
how various policies can change the incentives of defendants,
criminal justice actors, and people with records with a
particular emphasis on how criminal involvement impacts labor
market opportunities (and vice versa).
