Dissertation Project: Partisan Politics of Medical Care in the United States. More information is available here. Health politics and economics research: I am interested in the intersection of social science, medicine and health. In addition to my dissertation, I study how partisanship affects health, the behavioral economics of doctors’ prognosis and diagnosis, and the health economics of wrist and hand injury and treatment. Behavioral economics of cooperation: Field experiments in public goods contributions and ethno-religious diversity. More information is available here. Other past and current projects: My other projects have included the study of civil war, political institutions, war, leadership, and development.
| Clinical research: I do clinical research in orthopedics at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School. As a part of Charles S. Day’s research group there, I have worked on projects that include the development of new measurement tools (including novel devices and patient surveys) for better assessment of hand function, the epidemiology of wrist pain, and the role of worker’s compensation and insurance in patient’s surgery decisions.
