Description of Research

My research lies at the nexus of health and labor economics with a strong emphasis on econometric methodology. Most of my current work falls under one of two rubrics: (1) health and income dynamics and (2) migration. Other topics that I work on include: cost-effectiveness analysis of RCT's, peer effects and health disparities.
