At AEI, Anne conducted quantitative and qualitative research on U.S. social and economic policy issues, including the American family and the household, early childhood care and education, income and poverty, marriage and divorce, nonmarital births, welfare reform and working mothers. Her research focused on demographic trends, program evaluation and survey methodology.
