Professional ActivitiesDr. Chen’s current research focuses on understanding the source of variations in healthcare cost and quality, and how innovations such as Information Technology (IT) can impact healthcare management. She is also interested in investigating both the intended and unintended consequences of health policy. In order to quantify these effects, she applies advanced statistical and econometrical methods to analyze large-scale datasets. Her research is published in premier peer-refereed journals such as Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Journal of Regulatory Economics, Medical Care Research and Review, and Health Economics, and has been presented at international/national conferences and quoted by the Miami Herald and McKnight’s Long-Term Care News.
