Our dedicated team committed to serving you

Beth Mattingly is part of the leadership team in the Boston Fed’s Regional and community Outreach department.  Beth manages the planning and execution of research projects, seeks to advance the strategic dissemination of RCO’s work, and leads the team working on the Massachusetts Economic Conditions and Household Opportunity Survey (Mass ECHOS). She works with her team to ensure that RCO publications are informative, accessible, and engaging to a wide variety of audiences.

Her research focuses on policy modeling, racial wealth divides, and implications of public policies and how they vary across demographic groups. Previously, Beth directed the Vulnerable Families Research Program at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey School of Public Policy and served as a research consultant at the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality, where she was part of the team that developed the California Poverty Measure and worked extensively on the American Voices Project. She brings her experience as a researcher and leader to support RCO’s mission and efforts to uplift low- and moderate-income families in New England through pursuing and publishing high-quality, community-focused research.  

In addition to an expansive list of policy-relevant briefs, Beth’s research has been published in several academic journals, including Social Services Review, Social Forces, and Journal of Marriage and Family, on topics ranging from the demography of poverty to the implications of safety-net policies across the nation. Beth holds doctorate and master’s degrees from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College.
