We will have three PhD candidates on the market in the 2021-2022 cycle:
Benjo Delarmente: Using discharge, claims, and survey data, my dissertation explores the less understood mechanisms behind the observed readmissions reductions attributed to Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, particularly the possible roles of provider responses in treatment choice, care substitution, and stronger community health networks
Brendan Rabideau: My dissertation exploits an exogenous shock to the differential generosity of coverage for telemedicine between firms to estimate the elasticity of demand for telemental health services, as well has how this shock changes patterns of utilization of mental health services, total mental health spending, and downstream use of emergency and inpatient psychiatric care.
Yang Wang: My dissertation examines hospital behaviors when they collect higher private sector markup over Medicare’s payment rates, and hospital’s pricing and spending behaviors under the ACA Medicaid expansion.
Any programs or initiatives you want to highlight?
