Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Davis is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of Oregon with eight years of academic experience and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. His research focuses on applying economic insights to recruiting, assigning, and evaluating large public-sector workforces—teachers, principals, and police—to boost equity and efficiency in essential services. He studies practical interventions like high-dosage tutoring and how scaling them changes labor demand and policy design. Prior roles at the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago give him a blend of rigorous empirical methods and policy-relevant experience. Based in Eugene, Oregon, he is known for translating complex labor-market theory into actionable recommendations for public systems. Less obvious: his work emphasizes not just who is hired but how assignment and evaluation systems can systematically unlock productivity across millions of public-sector jobs.
