Research

Pricing Regulation and Health Insurance Coverage: Evidence from the ACA's Gender Rating Ban [Job Market Paper]

Presented at APPAM Annual Conference, Boston, MA · 2026

Estimates the effect of the Affordable Care Act's prohibition of gender-based pricing on nongroup health insurance coverage using American Community Survey microdata and a difference-in-differences design.

Generative AI Exposure and Healthcare Hiring: Timing Evidence from Employer Job Postings

Solo-authored · Work in Progress · Dissertation Chapter

Uses a firm-state-occupation-quarter panel of U.S. healthcare job postings from 2018–2026 to estimate how generative AI affected healthcare hiring, separating post-ChatGPT changes from pandemic dynamics and the 2022–2023 white-collar slowdown.
