Research
I am an empirical micro-economist who leverages experimental and quasi-experimental settings to address policy-relevant research questions in health and labor economics. I am particularly interested in studying how employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) affects labor market outcomes. Other areas of interest include the economics of education and economic history, where I examine the effect of the 1944 G.I. Bill on female World War II veterans, how the likelihood of slave escape affected antebellum slave prices, and whether the labor market values online degree programs. My most recent work examines how ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, etc.) affects patterns of alcohol consumption and associated risky behavior.
