My focus is economic behaviors of individuals which contribute to intergeneraltional poverty and their origins. I hypothesis that there is a direct correlation between intergenerational poverty and the work surrounding the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study. The work demonstrated that childhood abuse is dose responsive with lasting physiological and psychological problems. I demonstrate how the economic decision making in high ACE individuals is impaired through a behavioral economics lens.
