Liran Einav is a Professor in the Department of Economics at Stanford University, where he serves as Research Associate Director of the Industrial Organization Program. His work spans multiple NBER programs including Industrial Organization, Economics of Aging, and Economics of Health.
Einav's research focuses on industrial organization, health economics, and insurance markets. His work examines healthcare spending patterns, market design in insurance markets, nursing home quality, racial disparities in healthcare, and the economic implications of medical technologies. He frequently collaborates with Amy Finkelstein and other leading economists in the field.
His recent publications analyze racial differences in nursing home quality, clinician behavior in response to skin-tone affecting medical tests, the economic impact of having a child with Down syndrome, and market design considerations in regulated health insurance markets. His work often leverages large administrative datasets and natural experiments to draw causal inferences about economic behavior in healthcare markets.
Einav has made significant contributions to understanding selection and moral hazard in insurance markets, building on the empirical framework he developed with Finkelstein and Cullen (2010). His work has implications for health insurance design, Medicare policy, and understanding healthcare spending patterns in the United States.
He maintains active research collaborations across economics and health policy, with recent work examining telemedicine adoption, emergency department utilization, and end-of-life healthcare spending. His research combines theoretical insights with rigorous empirical analysis to address pressing questions in health economics and industrial organization.
