Judith K. Hellerstein was the Chair of the Economics department between 2019 and 2022 [1] and is currently a Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, US. [2] She is a former co-editor of The Journal of Human Resources, a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, [3] and she chairs the Technical Review Committee for the National Longitudinal Surveys. [4] She served as Chief Economist of the Council of Economic Advisers during 2011–2012. [5]
Hellerstein testified in 2013 before the Montgomery County Council on the employment impacts of potential changes to the minimum wage. [6] [7]
Research
Her publications have focused on wage determination, labor market outcomes by race, gender and ethnicity, and workplace segregation. With David Neumark and Melissa McInerney she showed that the spatial composition of jobs plays a relatively minor role in explaining low employment rates for Black men. [8] In work with Melinda Morrill, she found that divorce rates fall when unemployment is high. [9]
