Shannon Seitz, who received her PhD from the University of Western Ontario, joined the faculty at Queen's University in 2000. Professor Seitz is a labor economist whose work focuses on economics of the family. She uses micro data sets and structural models of the family to study family formation behavior and the implications of government policy for marital decisions. Her current research studies the marked differences in family structure and employment behavior for blacks and whites in the United States and the manner in which supply and demand conditions in marriage markets affect those ends. With Michael Brien and Steven Stern, she is also developing and estimating equilibrium models of match formation that are able to account for recent trends in cohabitation and fertility.
