I study how operating organizations, mostly in health care, absorb change that comes from outside them: a shifting workforce, a new policy or payment rule, a new technology placed into a service line. Panel econometrics where the question is about consequence; simulation and optimization where it is about design.
Healthcare operations & workforce
Fissured workforces and service quality, clinician empowerment, staffing and turnover, quality instability in long-term care, and where AI belongs in a sequential care line.
Supply chains, policy & sustainability
Supplier replacement and innovation, trade-policy turbulence, value-based purchasing incentives, waste routing and toxic releases, and motor-carrier safety under reclassification.
Methods
Causal inference for U-shaped and inverted U-shaped relationships, curvilinear local projections, simulation-based optimization, and deep reinforcement learning for scheduling.
