Pharmaceutical innovation collaboration, evaluation, and matching.
This paper theoretically studies pharmaceutical innovation collaborations, where heterogeneous firms compete for heterogeneous academics. At an interim stage, the firm evaluates the project, which allows it to monitor academics and decide whether to terminate the project to avoid the loss from a future failure. This paper explores the contract, project termination strategy, and collaboration matching. The firm's innovation strategy (exploitations or explorations) determines the evaluation structure, which may affect the market equilibrium. By considering different innovation strategies, this paper shows that in each case, the equilibrium matching is unique (either positive or negative assortative). Consequently, the chosen innovation strategy plays a pivotal role in shaping equilibrium matching outcomes. These findings provide theoretical insights into pharma-academic alliances, shed light on the observed positive or negative assortative properties in the market, and advocate for the consideration of innovation strategies and evaluation structures in future research endeavors. Moreover, this paper also provides several empirical and policy implications.

Do e-cigarette retail licensure laws reduce youth tobacco use?
E-cigarette licensure laws (ELLs) require retailers to obtain a state license to sell e-cigarettes over the counter. This study is the first to comprehensively explore the effect of ELL adoption on youth tobacco product use. Using data from the State Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and a difference-in-differences approach, we find no evidence that ELL adoption reduces youth ENDS use. The precision of our estimates allows us to rule out, with 95 % confidence, ELL-induced declines in prior-month, frequent, and everyday youth ENDS use of more than 0.7, 0.3, and 0.4 percentage points, respectively. The pattern of null findings persists when we examine ELLs that impose higher penalties for retailer non-compliance, higher renewable licensure fees, and criminal in addition to civil penalties. We conclude that ELLs have only limited success in curbing access to ENDS among youths.

Hospital competition when patients learn through experience.
We study competing hospitals' incentives for quality provision in a dynamic setting where healthcare is an experience good. In our model, the utility a patient derives from choosing a particular provider depends on a subjective component specific to the match between the patient and the provider, which can only be learned through experience. We find that the experience-good nature of healthcare can either reinforce or dampen the demand responsiveness to quality and the hospitals' incentives for quality provision, depending on two key factors: the shape of the distribution of match-specific utilities and the cost relationship between quality provision and treatment volume. We establish conditions under which ignoring the experience dimension of healthcare leads to inaccurate assessments of the competitiveness of hospital markets.

Health insurance, agricultural production and investments.
We study the effects of health insurance coverage on agricultural production decisions, examining the causal relationships by exploiting a health care reform and providing a theoretical framework to elucidate underlying mechanisms. We find that the reform led to long-run increases in total cultivation investments and output, accompanied by a shift in households' cultivation portfolio towards riskier crops. We explain these findings using a model of agricultural investment, highlighting the important roles of health insurance in mitigating background medical expenditure risks and enhancing health. We also find that the reform improved households' financial well-being through reduced debts and defaults on loans.

The effects of alcohol sale bans on children: The case of Russia.
Alcohol control policies are implemented to reduce alcoholism and related harms around the globe. This work examines the effects of a policy that restricted when alcohol could be purchased on child outcomes in Russia. To identify causal impacts, I exploit variation in the timing and severity of the restriction, which was implemented in Russian states between 2005 and 2010. Utilizing household survey data and a difference-in-differences estimation approach, I find that the policy has improved children's physical health, with younger children being more affected, and additionally has decreased a variety of risky behavior indicators. Potential mechanisms for these effects include alcohol consumption, parental employment, household income, family stability, and time use. This work demonstrates that policies controlling parental substance access can have important effects on child health.
