Headshot of Sree Cancherla

Sree Kancherla is a Graduate Student Assistant at California’s Employment Development Department for the California Policy Lab, and a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at UC Berkeley. As part of his work for CPL, he studies the effects of job displacement on workers’ job search and employment outcomes, including time spent unemployed, future earnings trajectories, and inventive patenting activity. His research also develops new ways to evaluate workers’ post-unemployment job quality, such as commuting distances and whether firms offer particularly high wages.

Sree’s broader research agenda analyzes ways in which the US tax and transfer system has shaped income, inequality, and labor market dynamics. A key emphasis in this research is to understand the ways in which workers respond to income shocks, with a particular focus on unemployment and job search. Some of his other projects study capital gains taxation, independent contracting, and tax enforcement. Sree received his BA from the University of Notre Dame in 2017 with dual honors in mathematics and economics.
