About
My understanding of Medicaid policy is both broad and deep including expertise in the interaction between Medicaid policy, health care delivery, health outcomes, and other welfare programs. I teach quasi-experimental research design and have applied this expertise with appropriate econometric techniques to lead evaluations of multiple natural experiments in Medicaid policy. I have extensive experience designing and conducting analyses that use a wide variety of data types including surveys, Medicaid claims, large administrative datasets, and electronic medical records.
