Hey #Econtwitter I'm looking for some health related policies that have been implemented in the US that my Health Economics class can present a policy brief on. Bonus points if you have a paper on said policy that I can use as reference for their readings!

I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Editor-in-Chief for Health Economics. I am succeeding Sally Stearns, who has provided outstanding leadership to the journal and is retiring this year.  The Board and I wish Sally great happiness for the future as we take up the baton.

Now that everyone’s home from #ASHEcon2024, I wanted to expand on a running conversation I had with a bunch of grad students who met with me.
