In 2022, she was awarded the Elaine Bennett Research Prize.[2]
Diamond is the daughter of Elizabeth Cammack Diamond and Douglas Diamond, recipient of the 2022 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[3][4]
She graduated from Yale University in 2007 with a BS in Physics and Economics & Mathematics, worked for a year as an analyst for Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and then began graduate study at Harvard University. She earned an MA in Economics in 2011 and a PhD in Economics in 2013, and has been at Stanford University since then.[1]
Diamond's research focuses on topics in housing and inequality, including gender gaps in gig work, affordable housing development, and the geography of consumption inequality.[5] Her work combines theoretical modeling with empirical analysis using new datasets, and often involves the connections between housing markets and labor markets.[2] In work receiving media coverage, she studied a rent control policy implemented in San Francisco in 1994, finding that this policy reduced the amount of rental housing eligible for the policy as landlords sold rent-controlled apartments for condominium-conversions and replaced rent-controlled apartments with new buildings not covered by the policy.[6][7][8]
