Welcome! My name is Yaming Cao.
I am an Advanced researcher (Tenure-Track) at the ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research. I earned my PhD from The Ohio State University.
In 2027, I will join Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, as Assistant Professor of Economics.
Fields: Public, Health, and Labor economics
Topics: Healthcare, Social insurance, and Family policies.
My research examines the economic challenges of population aging:
How can we reduce the high financial burden of healthcare demand in an aging society? I study healthcare system efficiency, social insurance design, and the drivers of healthcare expenditure.
How can we sustain labor supply as fertility declines and populations age? I study how families balance paid work with caring for children and older family members, focusing on women’s labor supply and the role of family policy.
I use administrative and survey data alongside economic modeling. I also collect original data through surveys and experiments.
