Laura Peck, Associate Professor
School of Public Affairs
E-mail: Laura.Peck@asu.edu
At ASU’s School of Public Affairs since 2001, Professor Peck
focuses on the effects of U.S. social policy on the well-being of
children and families, and on research methods and program evaluation.
Although some of her research focuses on the specific effects of
individual policies or programs, the crux of her current research
agenda is to explore how cross-state variation in the package of
social welfare policies affects families and children. With collaborators,
Peck has developed a unique Cross-State Policy Data set that extends
from 1994 forward and includes ten areas of social policy that represent
the U.S. safety net, broadly defined. To date, these data have been
used for analyzing policy change in and of itself but also for exploring
the effects of policy change on inequality and household economic
well-being; and more recently, the relative influences of changes
in the economy as they interact with policy change to affect household
well-being. Dr. Peck serves as the Associate Editor for the American
Journal of Evaluation.
