Hagstrom Presents Research Results in Washington D.C.

Associate Professor of Economics and Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center Director Paul Hagstrom presented a preliminary report on his research on food stamp participation by refugees and immigrants at the Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Small Grants Conference at the Economic Research Service in Washington D.C. in October.  His paper, titled "Food Stamp and Program Participation of Refugees and Immigrants: Measurement Error Correction for Immigrant Status," was co-authored by Chris Bollinger from the University of Kentucky.  The conference was attended by policy makers at the USDA and scholars from around the country.  Hagstrom's work is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Small Grants Program through the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin.
