Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Essays in Applied Microeconomics
No full textThis dissertation is composed of three chapters addressing topics in health and labor economics. The first chapter characterizes how various regulatory features in a large United States health insurance market, Medicare Advantage, facilitate access to high quality ``star" hospitals. Using hand-collected data, I show star hospital coverage in Medicare Advantage is high --- 70% of plans cover their county's star hospital compared to 34% in ACA exchanges. I examine two unique institutional features: (1) the presence of a public option in hospital price negotiations, the Traditional Medicare program; and (2) the mitigation of adverse selection through its stable population and well-calibrated risk adjustment system. Through estimation of demand and cost parameters, I show that the elimination of either feature would largely reduce coverage of star hospitals in the Medicare Advantage context.
The second chapter of my dissertation is co-authored with Michael Geruso, Timothy Layton, and Mark Shepard. Insurance markets often feature consumer sorting along both an extensive margin (whether to buy) and an intensive margin (which plan to buy). We present a new graphical theoretical framework that extends a workhorse model to incorporate both selection margins simultaneously. A key insight from our framework is that policies aimed at addressing one margin of selection often involve an economically meaningful trade-off on the other margin in terms of prices, enrollment, and welfare.
The third chapter of my dissertation is co-authored with Sabien Dobbelaere, Sándor Sóvágó, and Daniel Prinz. Using administrative data from the Netherlands, we show that workers at firms targeted by takeovers experience a large drop in the likelihood of employment at the consolidated firm, employment anywhere, and total income in the four years after the takeover. Incumbent worker job loss is a pervasive phenomenon across many types of takeovers. We show that the primary mechanism for this job loss is firm re-structuring at consolidating firms

Place, Policy, and Health: Essays on the Intersection of Health Policy and Social Policy
No full textThe social safety net is vital to supporting the wellbeing of many people in the United States, but it is complex. In this dissertation, I examine factors influencing outcomes of those insured by Medicaid, and I study the relationships between the health system, other social service sectors, and the places in which people live. The goal of this dissertation is to contribute to the body of interdisciplinary research that can inform the design of policies to support health and wellbeing across different social service sectors.
In Chapter 1, I examine the relationship between health and housing instability. Using high-frequency data on residential location and health for Medicaid enrollees in New York City from 2010 to 2019, I test whether adverse health events can cause housing instability with an event study design. I find that health shocks generate an immediate increase of 8.8 to 15.3 additional quarterly moves per 1,000 enrollees (a 15-25% relative increase), as well as increases in the risk of living in a shelter or on the street. I find that effects are smaller for those with access to subsidized housing, a usual source of outpatient care, greater social support, and higher quality inpatient care, suggesting potential areas for policy interventions to break the relationship between health problems and housing instability. These results demonstrate the ways in which people experiencing illness are uniquely vulnerable to housing instability.
In Chapter 2 (with Sherry A. Glied), we evaluate the impact of major transportation policy reform on the health of Medicaid enrollees. In 2014, New York City launched Vision Zero, a comprehensive traffic safety reform policy that included a citywide speed limit reduction, roadway redesign, and traffic ticketing. We conduct difference-in-differences analyses to measure changes in traffic injuries and expenditures 2009-2021, comparing NYC to surrounding counties without traffic reforms. Vision Zero led to 77.5 fewer injuries per 100,000 person-years annually (a 30% relative reduction). We also observe marked reductions in severe injuries (brain injury, hospitalizations) and savings of $90.8 million in Medicaid expenditures. Effects were largest among Black residents. Impacts were reversed during the COVID-19 period, likely due to decreases in traffic ticketing.
In Chapter 3 (with Timothy J. Layton), we use a “movers” design to estimate causal effects of neighborhoods on pediatric mental health utilization. Neighborhood-level variation in childhood mental health has been widely documented. Yet, it is not clear how much of this variation is driven by compositional differences in the children who live in different areas versus features of these places themselves. Using national Medicaid data, we leverage children who move within their state between 2007 and 2014 with event studies and neighborhood fixed effects models. Upon moving, enrollees’ outpatient therapy use converges 39% of the way toward the destination neighborhood’s mean, acute mental health use converges 28% of the way toward the destination neighborhood’s mean, and psychiatric prescription use converges 8% of the way toward the destination neighborhood’s mean. The neighborhood-specific effects we estimate only modestly correlate with the set of area-level characteristics we tested, like economic disadvantage, supply of providers, or school attributes. As policymakers seek to respond to rising childhood mental health utilization, attention should be paid to neighborhood contexts, even down to the ZIP code level
