Research
My current research and teaching interests are in Microeconometrics methods and applications to the demand for Health Care with emphasis on limited dependent variable models. I am especially interested in studying the impact of private insurance on the demand for healthcare and expenditure controlling for endogeneity. I have been closely involved in an analysis of Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. A part of my research interest is in developing new methods for multivariate models using simulation-based techniques such as Markov chain Monte Carlo and Simulated Maximum Likelihood methods.
