Michigan State University Assistant ProfessorAppointed: 2009 | |
QualificationsPh.D., Michigan State University, Economics, 2003. M.S., Michigan State University, Statistics, 2001. Expertise and Research InterestsDr. Zhehui Luo has a PhD in economics (with an emphasis on health economics and econometrics) and an MS in statistics. She has extensive experience in epidemiological and health services research, collaborating with a broad range of investigators in a multidisciplinary environment. Her knowledge of econometric and statistical techniques and interests in public health policy and intervention have led to studies of costs for cancer, health care disparity, of evaluation methodologies in estimating treatment effects in observational studies, and of cost-effectiveness methodologies. Her primary research interest is to develop and apply modern and appropriate econometric and statistical methods in policy analysis and program evaluation in trial-based and observational studies. She is currently developing new methodological approaches in comparative effectiveness research for heterogeneous treatment effects of phamacotherapies and behavioral interventions. Her secondary research interest is the intersection of psychiatric epidemiology and behavioral economics, specifically to understand whether the behavioral economics principles apply in the treatment seeking behaviors of individuals with affective and substance dependence disorders and whether the competing neuro-behavioral decision systems model can inform the analysis of disparity in health due to socioeconomic status.
