Shelly Lundberg

Senior Faculty Affiliate Shelly Lundberg is Castor Professor of Economics at the University of Washington and studies the economics of labor markets and the family, including both theoretical modeling and empirical analysis of fertility, labor supply, wage determination, and intra-household allocation of resources.
