Lauren Jones studies how public policies and economic conditions affect family and household well-being, with a focus on topics like tax credits, financial behavior, and health outcomes. Much of the work examines programs such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and household finances, alongside research on the opioid epidemic's effects on employment and traffic safety, and smoking behavior during COVID-19. The research combines economics and public policy methods to evaluate how policy tools and economic shocks influence family financial security and health.
