Meg Blume-Kohout

Government legislation, policies, and regulations—however well-intentioned—often result in unintended consequences. Professor Blume-Kohout is an economist, public policy analyst, and data scientist who employs theory and quantitative modeling approaches drawn from multiple disciplines—economics, psychology, sociology, statistics, and computer science—to answer public policy questions. Her research examines how government interventions impact STEM workforce participation, higher education, scientific R&D efforts and innovation, and entrepreneurial outcomes.
