The Role of Telehealth Payment Parity on Recommended Care and Emergency Department Service Utilization Among Workers With Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: State-level telehealth payment parity, requiring equal payment rates for telehealth and in-person visits, played an important role in ensuring access to telehealth services. The objective of our study is to evaluate how improved access, driven by telehealth payment parity, affected the utilization of disease-specific recommended care management services and emergency department (ED) services among insured patients with c…
The Impact of Multimorbidity on Labor Force Participation Among the Middle-Aged and Older Working Population in the United States
MCC significantly reduces LFP compared with non-MCC. MCC has a heterogeneous impact across occupational types. It is important to support the near-retirement-age working population with multimorbidity through effective clinical interventions and workplace wellness policies to help manage health conditions and remain active in the labor market

Infant Mortality Rate as a Measure of a Country’s Health: A Robust Method to Improve Reliability and Comparability
Researchers and policymakers often rely on the infant mortality rate as an indicator of a country’s health. Despite arguments about its relevance, uniform measurement of infant mortality is necessary to guarantee its use as a valid measure of population health. Using important socioeconomic indicators, we develop a novel method to adjust country-specific reported infant mortality figures. We conclude that an augmented measure of mortality that in…
Consumer Demand under Price Uncertainty: Empirical Evidence from the Market for Cigarettes
We develop a demand model for goods that are subject to habit formation. We show that consumption plans of forward-looking individuals depend on preferences, current period prices, and individual beliefs about the evolution of future prices. Moreover, an increase in price uncertainty reduces consumption along the optimal path. With smoking as our application, we test the predictions of our model using a unique data set of prices for cigarettes an…
Retiree Health Insurance and the Labor Force Behavior of Older Men in the 1990s
We estimate the impact of employer-provided retiree health insurance (EPRHI) on the labor force transitions of men aged 51 to 62.Data from the Health and Retirement Survey provide detailed and accurate measures of retiree health insurance. Availability of EPRHI increases the rate of exit from employment by two percentage points per year if the individual shares the cost of the insurance with the firm, and by six percentage points if the firm pays…
