I am an applied microeconomist who uses causal inference and behavioral methods to evaluate the impact of traditional and innovative healthcare delivery and tax collection models.
I am particularly interested in the effects and unintended consequences of government programs such as Medicaid and disruptive market innovations such as retail health clinics and telehealth.
I have published 15 articles in journals such as Health Affairs Scholar, BMC Health Services Research and the Southern Economic Journal.
As an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, I teach health economics, public finance and microeconometrics.
