Thomas Cronin

Welcome to my website! My name is Thomas Cronin, and I am an economic policy researcher focused on poverty, economic mobility, and the social safety net. I hope to keep this website up to date with all of my research papers, op-eds, and other policy-related publications.

I am an economic policy researcher with experience at leading research and policy organizations like AEI, the Economic Innovation Group, and the Manhattan Institute, where I have focused on poverty alleviation, economic mobility, affordable housing, and the social safety net. My work spans empirical analysis of large administrative and survey datasets, econometric modeling, and the creation of accessible data visualizations to inform policy debates. My research has been published and cited by prominent think tanks and major news outlets including The Wall Street Journal, AEI, the Manhattan Institute, City Journal, and Foreign Policy.

My goal is to advance objective, data-driven research that deepens our understanding of economic well-being and mobility in the United States. I am always looking to connect with others who share my passion for policy, so please don't hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or opportunities to collaborate: thomas@eig.org.
