I am an assistant professor at Boston University and a Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER. My research addresses fraud, misreporting and overbilling in public expenditures, particularly in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as the consequences of these behaviors for public spending and patient health outcomes.\u00a0 I am also interested in the detection and deterrence of fraud and corruption, as well as the statistical properties of misreported data. This work lies at the intersection of public economics, health economics, political economy, and law and economics.<\/p>\n
