She is an innovative and prolific scholar whose work spans labor, public and health economics. She has made fundamental contributions in many areas and is best known for her work on public policy issues affecting child health and wellbeing. Her work is notable for combining a focus on important, policy-relevant questions with unassailable objectivity and scrupulous attention to methodological detail.

She has also been in the forefront of efforts to examine environmental threats to children’s health. Currie’s research has also illuminated important socioeconomic differences in child health, an issue of growing concern given the widening income inequality that the United States has experienced in recent decades.
