Biography
I’m an assistant professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and affiliated faculty in the Department of Economics and the Murphy Institute for Political Economy. My research generally involves evaluating the health effects of various policy interventions. I am currently working on an NIH-funded project that seeks to determine whether paid sick leave improves health. I’m also part of a research team examining the health and economic consequences of expanded Medicaid coverage in Louisiana. In the Economics Department, I teach PhD courses in health economics and research methods.
