I wrote in the New York Times about how I think companies saying women are leaving because of "return to office" is a cop out. Nursing, a fundamentally in person job, is almost 90% female. So what do women really want? Boundaries. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/o...

LDI Fellow Eric T. Roberts & Renuka Tipirneni found smaller Black-white disparities in some preventive care use under Medicare Advantage compared to traditional Medicare, & Latinx beneficiaries used less preventive care than white beneficiaries in both. ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/res...

This paper has been a long time coming (we've, collectively, had 5 babies as a coauthor team since the start), but we're so happy to share this counterintuitive research on the gap dowry is filling in India (the paper is "dowries as pensions) and how it shapes migration decisions.

I hope people find this generative. There are a lot of policy effects that are larger and quicker than what we would expect (based on what the policy actually does). www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Really proud of our team, disseminating findings on (1) the IGNITE study of concentrated investment in low-income neighborhoods (which is nearing completion) + (2) work on the drivers of life expectancy trends in the US (w/ @wrigleyfield.bsky.social @rourkeobrien.bsky.social @astokespop.bsky.social)
