Assistant Professor, Ecomomics
Curriculum VitaeCAPS Biography:
I am an economist with interests in health economics, industrial organization and economic development. My research relates to the CAPS signature theme of health and well-being, as well as the cross-cutting themes of policy and specific populations. My recent works used large secondary data sets and innovative econometric methods to estimate: 1) how supply-side productivity of health care market affects the growth of medical expenditure; 2) how health insurance mitigates the adverse economic effects of illness; and 3) how market structure in local hospital market impacts health outcomes. These works contribute new methods to reveal the effects of supply-side policies on health outcomes of various populations.
