Greg J. Duncan is an American economist who is a Distinguished Professor of Education at University of California, Irvine and an Elected Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. ^{[1] [2] [3]} He was the 2013 winner of the Jacobs Research Prize for his research on the long-term effects of childhood poverty, ^[4] primarily through his 23 years with the Panel Study of Income Dynamics as researcher and director. ^[5]

His research has had broad impacts on poverty, education, and housing policy and research. One paper with biologist collaborators uncovered a direct link between cash subsidies to poor mothers and high-frequency brain activity in their infants, ^[6] supporting many of his influential papers on life-long sociological effects of childhood poverty. ^{[7] [8]} As of 2022 ^[update], his 176 peer-reviewed articles had been cited in over 15,000 peer-reviewed articles, ^[9] and 38 of his books (including coauthors such as Harvard University Professor Richard Murnane) and articles have been cited 500+ times. ^[10] In 2022, he was in the top 1% of most cited researchers in Education, anchoring the UCI Graduate School of Education which was ranked eighth in the world. ^{[11] [12]}
