Tannenbaum's research centers on labor and public economics, with critical investigations into housing instability (eviction/homelessness), gender earnings disparities after parenthood, and evolving U.S. labor markets. His work examines how firms perpetuate inequality, geographic variations in job tasks, and intergenerational poverty transmission through housing policy lenses.

Recent publications reveal consistent focus on eviction consequences, parental wage gaps, and occupational evolution. His empirical approach leverages large-scale datasets to analyze housing policy impacts, gendered career trajectories, and spatial labor dynamics, contributing to journals like Journal of Labor Economics and Journal of Public Economics.
