Matthew V. Bondy

J.D./Ph.D. Student

Yale University

I am currently pursuing a J.D. at Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in Financial Economics at the Yale School of Management.

My research interests include household finance, public finance, behavioral economics, and the economics of crime. I am especially interested in partnering with government agencies and community organizations to evaluate alternatives to incarceration, reduce recidivism, and develop innovate strategies to improve financial inclusion and decision-making.

Prior to Yale, I completed a predoctoral fellowship at Stanford, where I investigated the impact of concealed carry laws on crime rates, racial disparities in capital punishment, and the efficacy of interventions designed to support clients represented by public defender’s offices. I am a graduate of William & Mary.
