What is Amy Finkelstein known for in economics?
I am known for my empirical research in health economics, particularly using natural experiments to understand the effects of health insurance and public health programs. My work often focuses on identifying causal impacts, such as how insurance availability affects healthcare utilization and health outcomes. The Oregon Health Insurance Experiment is a key example of this approach, providing valuable insights into the first year of results from a randomized rollout of Medicaid.
