Kurt Lavetti is an economist who studies labor markets and health economics, with particular focus on how legal restrictions like noncompete agreements affect worker mobility, wages, and productivity, as well as how health insurance design and healthcare markets affect spending and access to care. His work combines empirical labor economics with health policy analysis, often using state-level policy variation and administrative data to study real-world outcomes.
