C. Adam Bee

I am an economist at the U.S. Census Bureau, in the Income Statistics Branch of the Social, Economic, and Housing Statistics Division. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Notre Dame in 2011 under the direction of William N. Evans.

My interests are in applied microeconomics, in the fields of labor economics and public economics. Previous research has varied from the estimating the causal effects of car ownership on household labor supply to testing whether U.S. cities tend to increase spending in election years.

More recently I have been focusing on non-classical measurement error in U.S. income and consumption survey data, and more broadly on the problem of measuring the material well-being of American households.
