Research Interests: Dr. Eichmeyer investigates how public policies intersect with health outcomes and political behavior. Her work explores the mechanisms behind poverty persistence, the role of media in shaping political polarization, and the societal impacts of social media. She combines empirical methods with field experiments to analyze real-world interventions, such as vaccine demand strategies and crisis communication policies.
Publications: Her recent work examines social media’s role in news consumption polarization (AER), historical education’s influence on extreme ideologies (CEPR), and opioid prescription patterns (Journal of Public Economics). These studies reflect her interdisciplinary approach bridging economics, political science, and public health.
