James Kelly serves as an Assistant Professor - Instructional in the Department of Economics at Temple University's College of Liberal Arts, holding this position since Fall 2017 following completion of his PhD at the same institution. His primary responsibilities encompass teaching foundational economics courses including Principles of Macroeconomics, Principles of Microeconomics, and Intermediate Microeconomics across multiple course formats.
Dr. Kelly earned his doctoral degree from Temple University after returning to his native Philadelphia in 2009, following a three-year career in Baltimore's sales industry (2006-2009). His academic journey began in Fall 2011 when he taught as an Adjunct Professor while completing graduate studies.
His research program centers on empirical investigations at the intersection of education economics, criminology, and labor markets, utilizing sophisticated applied econometric methodologies. Kelly's work examines how social perceptions influence behavioral outcomes, particularly through environmental frameworks like broken windows theory, with strong connections to urban policy and socioeconomic inequality.
Kelly's publication record demonstrates focused expertise in environmental criminology, particularly through his 2017 Crime and Delinquency article analyzing multilevel relationships between risk perceptions and neighborhood incivility. This work exemplifies his methodological rigor in studying complex social dynamics using longitudinal and spatial analytical approaches within urban contexts.
No scientific awards, research grants, or graduate student advising activities are documented in available materials.
