Research summary
AI-generated

Coady Wing studies health policy and economics, focusing on how programs like Medicaid affect access to care and health outcomes, including treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Much of the work also develops and explains statistical methods for estimating cause-and-effect from real-world policy changes, particularly difference-in-differences designs. Topics range from health insurance coverage and drug pricing to the effects of COVID-19 policies like mask mandates.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
