معرفی
Emilia Simeonova is a Professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, where she has been a faculty member since 2013. Her research lies at the intersection of health economics, health policy, and behavioral science, with a strong focus on health equity, patient behavior, and the long-term effects of health shocks. She is affiliated with the Hopkins Business of Health Initiative (HBHI), contributing to interdisciplinary research on pressing health care challenges.
- PhD in Economics, Columbia University, 2008
- Research Fellow, Center for Health and Wellbeing, Princeton University, 2011–2012
- Faculty, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, 2013–present
Her research interests include health equity, economic evaluation, telehealth, health behavior change, and the intergenerational transmission of health. She investigates how socioeconomic factors, policy interventions, and health care delivery systems influence individual and population health outcomes. A significant portion of her recent work centers on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including mobility responses to public health orders and geographic spillovers of non-pharmaceutical interventions.
The recent publications reflect a consistent focus on causal inference in health policy, using natural experiments and large administrative datasets. Themes include the long-term effects of childhood health, the role of income and family structure in health outcomes, and the evaluation of staggered policy implementations. Her work often leverages international data, such as from Sweden and tribal populations in the U.S., to draw generalizable conclusions.
Dr. Simeonova has secured research funding from major national and international agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Swedish Research Council, and Danish Academy of Sciences. These grants support her investigations into health disparities, patient adherence, and policy evaluation.

She has collaborated with HBHI colleagues on projects examining spillover effects of public health policies, demonstrating how interventions in one region influence behavior in adjacent areas. This work highlights the importance of regional coordination in pandemic response.
