Eric Stokan
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). My primary focus is economic development policy at the state, region, and local levels.
My research broadly seeks to understand why state and local governments use different sets of economic development policies, and what impact those policies have on economic development and growth. I am currently engaged in estimating the fiscal and economic impacts of the HUD CDBG program with a team of researchers at the University of Idaho.
My research has been featured most recently in Public Performance & Management Review, Urban Affairs Review, State and Local Government Review, and Economic Development Quarterly.
