Marcos Lee

Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at Rice University. I am on the 2023/24 job market and am available for interviews.

My research focuses on on early childhood environments and education policies. In my job market paper, I study parental subjective uncertainty regarding the returns to investment in children during early childhood.

My other work consists of examining the child care industry. In particular, I evaluate and propose public policies that are intended at improving retention, quality, and pay of the child care workforce.

As a Graduate Fellow of the Texas Policy Lab, I have contributed in their policy evaluation efforts. I have led the quantitative impact analysis of two policies targeting child care providers in Texas.
