Welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at McGill University in Montréal, QC. I am also affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Institute for Labor Economics (IZA), and the ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin. I can be reached via email at maggie.ec.jones [at] gmail.com.
My research areas include history, labour, and education. I use tools from these disciplines to better understand the persistence of socioeconomic inequalities between groups in North America. You can read more about my work on the economics of the Civil Rights Movement at our Green Book Project website.
I acknowledge with respect the Kanien’kehà:ka, who are the traditional custodians of the unceded lands and waters where I live and work.
