Eric Stokan

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).  I am also a faculty affiliate to the School of Public Policy at UMBC and to the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University.  Additionally, I serve as co-Director and faculty affiliate to the Metropolitan Government and Management Lab (MGMT) at the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington. My primary focus is local government decision making regarding economic development, community development, and environmental policy at the state, region, and local levels as well as evaluation of policies on economic growth, equity, and social outcomes.
​
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 have recently completed estimating the fiscal and economic impacts of the HUD CDBG program with a team of researchers at the University of Idaho, and am embarking on an analysis of HUD and HOMES expenditures on equity outcomes.  Additionally, I am studying alternative cost-efficient mechanisms to mitigate the likelihood of childhood Elevated Blood Lead Level exposure through a HUD Technical Studies grant with the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University.

My research has been featured most recently in Public Administration Review, Public Performance & Management Review, Urban Affairs Review, Review of Policy Research, State and Local Government Review, and Economic Development Quarterly.
