Biography

Dr. Christina M. Dalton’s research is at the intersection of health economics and industrial organization: improving health care provision by analyzing how markets for health care goods and services work (or don’t work). For example, her projects include modeling how nonprofits and for-profit hospices choose patients differently and how insurance out-of-pocket costs, such as the infamous “donut hole”, change how senior citizens fill prescriptions. Dr. Dalton received her PhD from the University of Minnesota. Previous to graduate studies, she worked at the New York Federal Reserve Bank and for a private consulting firm focusing on school districts, local government, and nonprofits.
