CAPS Biography:

I am an applied microeconomist with a primary research agenda focusing on aging, family caregiving, and long-term care. My research examines how family care impacts employment and health outcomes of caregivers and care recipients. A second, related, strand studies the effects of public programs, financial incentives, and economic conditions on individual and population health outcomes. My research combines economic theory, rigorous econometric methods, the use of both survey and administrative data, and a deep understanding of the policy landscape in the United States. My interdisciplinary research agenda is supported by grants from federal agencies including the National Institutes of Aging and nonprofits such as the Sloan Foundation. Yulya’s research is regularly published in peer reviewed economics, public policy, and public health journals and has been reported on in news outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post.
