Her work has been published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. Her studies have been cited by Bloomberg, the Boston Globe, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, among others.

摘要:
We study how hospice services affect health care spending and end-of-life well-being among older adults. Exploiting 1,518 quasi-random hospice facility openings across U.S. counties between 1999 and 2019, we estimate that each new facility increases per-beneficiary hospice spending by $4.3 (7.1%) but reduces non-hospice Medicare spending by $8.8 per quarter — representing nearly two dollars saved for every additional dollar of hospice spending. Savings stem mainly from lower inpatient and skilled-nursing facility spending. We find no adverse effects on pain, functional status, or mortality, despite reductions in high-intensity interventions such as feeding tubes and catheters and increases in comfort-oriented medications. Patients spend a lower share of their last days of life in institutions and are more likely to die at home. These gains persist across conditions, yet hospice take-up remains highly uneven. To distinguish whether this heterogeneity reflects efficient sorting by patient severity, capacity constraints, or financial incentives, we develop and estimate a model of hospice referral. We find that provider incentives—reflecting foregone curative revenue—play a major role in hospice underutilization. We then consider counterfactual policies that expand hospice capacity and mitigate financial incentives.

摘要:
The central question of the policy debate on public education is how to get more for less. Charter schools have been a tool in this arena to pressure traditional public schools to improve or lose students to them. Moreover, charter schools designated as “High-performing” have recently been allowed to expand capacity at will in Florida, while the remainder need to request such permission. I leverage this policy reform and evaluate its influence on education access and quality. I develop and estimate a tractable dynamic model that highlights the (costly) adjustment of schools’ capacity and their “effort” to improve quality and their dynamic response to the competitive environment. I find evidence that obtaining “High-performing” designation reduces adjustment costs of capacity, which is valuable to charter schools. More importantly, such charter schools exert pressure on traditional public schools nearby. Through simulation exercises, I show that targeting value-added, not just performance level, would improve the mean performance of the entire education sector and enhance equity of access.
