Essays in public economics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- My dissertation is comprised of three chapters that largely focus on two broad themes: labor supply decisions and the provision of various forms of insurance, including unemployment insurance and health insurance. Many key public policies that seek to provide social safety nets and provide insurance coverage may influence individual labor supply choices. Correspondingly, new labor market opportunities may also alter how individuals interact with social programs and economic policies. In Chapter 1, I explore the implications of the recent growth in gig employment opportunities (e.g. Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, etc.) for individuals facing unemployment shocks. In Chapter 2, I quantify the implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance expansions for three key stakeholders -- providers, patients, and taxpayers. In Chapter 3, I examine implications of the ACA on individuals' labor market outcomes
