Professor Zimmerman studies labor economics and public finance, focusing on economics education. His research examines the social, economic, and policy determinants of educational attainment and the returns on education, with an eye toward understanding how education systems contribute to upward mobility, income inequality, and economic growth. Recent work investigates how access to selective higher education affects upward mobility to top jobs and high incomes, the design of transparent and equitable public school choice systems, and the impact of public investment in education on student outcomes. Partnerships with local and national governments are central to Professor Zimmerman's research, as they are involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policies.
