There's still time! ... to attend our #ASHEcon2026 session (Tues 1015 to 1145am in Greenway B 2nd fl) and learn about (1) whether corporate tax cuts increase innovation (2) how randomized trials affect later research and (3) how some antibiotics might actually be *under-used*(??)

NEW in Econometrica, this paper studies how the risk of hold-up affects procurement.
@Yale's Nicholas Ryan uses data on solar power auctions in India, finding that the counterparty risk of an average state increases solar prices by 10%.

Should the federal government force insurers and PBMs to divest medical service providers in order to prevent the rise of health care prices and spending? This JAMA Viewpoint shares my thoughts on this policy idea. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @Kennedy_School @HarvardHBS @HBSHealth

I’m excited to share a new paper in JAAD on novel therapies in melanoma 🧵
We show melanoma mortality fell by ~26% following the introduction of immunotherapy and targeted therapies. authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKL…
ALT Melanoma mortality and new therapy approvals
These findings suggest that while novel therapies have transformed melanoma outcomes, a meaningful share of their potential benefit remains unrealized, particularly outside larger counties. Further work is needed to maximize the benefits of important new treatments.
I'm honored to have worked on this project with my wonderful mentors and co-authors Ryan Sullivan, Hensin Tsao, and @DrStevenTChen.
