Associate Professor
Professor Greenbaum's research focuses on urban and regional economic development. In particular, he is interested both in how tax incentive policies and disamenities such as crime and terrorism influence the location of economic activity. He has published a number of papers examining the adoption and effectiveness of spatially targeted economic development incentives. The primary attention of his current research concerns the investigation of relationships among crime, business location decisions, and residential choice. He teaches courses in economics, public finance, and statistical methods. He also serves as the Glenn School's Graduate Studies Committee Chair and as Associate Director of Ohio State's Center for Urban and Regional Analysis. Professor Greenbaum received a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon University.
