Brady Horn is a Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of New Mexico (UNM). His research focuses on public policy impacts, particularly in environmental and natural resource economics, international development, health-focused public economics, and New Mexico-centric issues. He is affiliated with several institutes including the Science Impact Laboratory for Policy and Economics (SILPE), the Center for Social Policy, and the Water Resources Program.

Key research themes include the economic effects of social policies (e.g., paid sick leave, SNAP access), substance abuse treatment costs, and the intersection of healthcare and criminal justice systems. His work frequently addresses marginalized populations and evaluates policy outcomes on health, crime, and community development.

Recent publications analyze topics such as opioid prescribing in HIV care, jail-based methadone treatment impacts, and the economic implications of redlining on housing values. His interdisciplinary approach combines quantitative analysis with real-world policy evaluation.
