Dr. Daniel Fernandez Kranz and Dr. Natalia Nollenberger Castro won the 2023 Ned Holstein Research Award from National Parents Organization. Dr. Kranz is an economist who looked at the impact of equal parenting time laws on family outcomes in Spain. Since Spain has some areas that have passed shared parenting laws and some areas who have not, his research was able to look at the effects of these laws on the welfare of families.

His research focuses on Empirical Microeconomics in the areas of family economics, labor markets, gender economics and policy evaluation.
