Matt Eaton

PhD Candidate in Economics, Clemson University

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at Clemson University, on the job market in 2026–2027 and available for interviews. As an applied microeconomist, my research spans the fields economics of crime, labor economics, and the economics of education.

My current work focuses on how policy interventions and market shocks shape crime, employment, and community outcomes, with particular attention to place-based crime policy, labor market disruptions, and the economics of vulnerable communities in contemporary U.S. contexts.
