    Research Profile

Her research focuses on developing novel methods for policy evaluation and applying these to identify interventions that most efficiently improve population health and well-being. Dr. Bilinski's methodological interests include advancing data-driven approaches to observational causal inference, improving causal identification and interpretability in high-dimensional simulation models, and incorporating both cost-effectiveness and affordability into health care decision-making. She studies a range of policy areas, including health insurance reform, gaps in equitable and comprehensive access to dental care, and infectious disease management. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bilinski worked with policymakers and researchers on projects including short-term hospital forecasts during the spring of 2020; modeling to inform population contact tracing and mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in K-12 schools; and quantification and attribution of excess mortality.

    Research Profile

    Peter Hull received his Ph.D. in Economics from MIT in 2017 and came to Brown in 2021 after working as an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, a Research Fellow at the Becker Friedman Institute, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at Microsoft Research New England. He is a labor economist with research interests in applied econometrics, education, healthcare, and discrimination. He is a Faculty Research Fellow in the National Bureau of Economics programs in Labor Studies and Health Care, an Affiliated Faculty Member at MIT Blueprint Labs, and a Research Network Affiliate of CESifo. 

    Professor Hull works on developing new econometric methods for measuring quality across different institutions (such as schools, hospitals, and insurance plans) as well as inequality in high-stakes decision-making (such as pretrial release or lending decisions). Much of this work leverages quasi-experimental assignment in an instrumental variables framework. Professor Hull has also developed new frameworks for leveraging such quasi-random shocks in settings with complex non-random shock exposure.
