This project aims to develop novel statistical methods motivated by analyzing individuals responding to changes in their work and personal environments, with a focus on health economics and policy impacts. Key questions involve socio-economic disparities in healthcare treatment and financial burdens following health shocks, best answered using panel data to track individuals over time. The methods will have broader applications beyond health.
