ISS Faculty Fellow/Evolving Family Team 2004-7
Elizabeth Peters is Professor of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell and an economic demographer who has published extensively on topics related to marriage, divorce, child support policy, welfare reform, and father involvement. Her work has appeared in prestigious journals such as the American Economic Review, International Economic Review, Demography, Annual Review of Sociology, the Journal of Family Issues, and the Journal of Human Resources. She has received numerous competitive research grants from federal agencies including NICHD, the Department of Health and Human Services (ASPE and the Child Care Bureau), and the Department of Labor. Peters has a long history of multi-disciplinary collaborations, co-authoring with colleagues in economics, law, psychology, and sociology. For the past 10 years she has been a partner in the NICHD sponsored Family and Child Well-being Network, a group of scholars across universities and disciplines, that was established, in part, to bridge the gap between social science research on the family and public policy. Peters was recently awarded a program project grant (P01) from NICHD on the Transition to Fatherhood. This P01 is an outgrowth of research collaborations that began among members of the NICHD Family and Child Well-being Network, and it involves scholars from six different research institutions or universities (Cornell , Maryland , Johns Hopkins, Illinois, North Carolina, the Urban Institute, and Child Trends).
