About

Matt Hall is a Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Cornell University and serves as the Director of the Cornell Population Center and the Program for Applied Demographics. He is a demographer whose research focuses on immigration, racial and ethnic inequality, neighborhood change, and demographic methods. His work has contributed to understanding the economic and social impacts of unauthorized migration, the emergence of Latino boom towns and other new destination areas with recent and rapid immigration, and the evolving nature of racial stratification and segregation in housing and neighborhoods. Current research projects led by Hall include examining the consequences of intensified interior immigration enforcement, exploring the relationship between immigration status and child development, describing patterns of racial discrimination in US housing markets, and developing data science tools for demographic estimation. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in demography, immigration policy, and statistics at Cornell University.
