John Mullahy

About

I am a health economist and Professor of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with affiliate appointments in: the La Follette School of Public Affairs; the Department of Risk and Insurance in the Wisconsin School of Business; the Center for Demography and Ecology; the Institute for Research on Poverty; and the Center for Financial Security. I am also an Honorary Professor of Economics at NUI Galway in Ireland and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. I currently serve as Co-Editor of Health Economics.

My main interests and expertise are in the areas of: multi-morbidities of physical and mental health problems and empirical methods used to study them; understanding determinants of, disparities in, and measurement of health outcomes; evaluation of health interventions; economic aspects of health-related behaviors; and applications of econometric methods to health economics and health policy analysis. I engage in extensive disciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching and mentoring at the graduate and postdoctoral levels across campus. I am an active participant in CDE, serving as an Associate Director for Training and as a member of the Executive Committee.
