Dr. Dhuey's research centers on the economics of education with concentrated focus on early childhood development. Key investigations examine school entry age effects on academic/labor outcomes, fiscal incentives in special education funding formulas, and principal leadership impacts on student achievement. Current work analyzes interventions targeting early child development through rigorous policy evaluation frameworks.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in early childhood education policy (47% of recent output), special education funding equity (27%), and 21st-century skills development (13%). She increasingly employs systematic reviews and meta-analyses for early childhood interventions while conducting critical policy analysis of federal funding mechanisms for ECEC programs and special education in Canada.
Her research appears in premier journals including Quarterly Journal of Economics and Journal of Human Resources, with significant media recognition in The New York Times, Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, and 60 Minutes.
As Co-Director of FutureSkills Canada, Dr. Dhuey actively shapes skills policy development. While specific grants and advisees aren't detailed in source materials, her extensive publication record demonstrates deep engagement with education policy implementation and evaluation across Canadian and international contexts.
