Dan L. Ma
Starting Fall 2023, I will be beginning my Ph.D. in Economics of Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and Stanford Graduate Fellowship Recipient. My advisors there are Professor Susanna Loeb and Professor Tom Dee.
I was previously a Predoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School working with Professor Will Dobbie and Professor Crystal Yang on Reducing Racial Bias in Bail Decisions.
My mission is to help students attain the opportunities and education they deserve. I engage in economics research to inform policymakers and community leaders about the institutional changes that are needed to achieve equity and to combat discrimination in our education systems. One of my goals is to foster academic environments that enable all students to thrive, especially those who continue to face social and economics barriers to such rights. Dan Ma
