I am the Creed C. Black Professor of Public Policy, Economics, and Global Health.
As an applied microeconomist working in health policy & global health, my research focuses on topics including: performance based contracts, measurement of provider quality and performance, social franchising, and social accountability / monitoring. I also study health insurance as well as the role of subjective expectations / beliefs in healthcare behavior. Several of these projects feature field experiments and policy interventions / evaluations.
