Allen Goodman's Research

December 2020

This page provides linkages to my research in health economics and urban economics.

 

I am also now working in health economics education and I presented my work at the July 2014 joint iHEA/ECHE meetings in Dublin, the July 2015 iHEA meetings in Milano, and the June 2016 ASHEcon meetings in Philadelphia. We achieved a very successful a full day session at the July 2017 iHEA meetings in Boston, and the 2018 ASHEcon meetings in Atlanta in June 2018. We conducted a pre-conference session on active learning methods at the 2019 iHEA meetings in Basel, Switzerland.

 

I was also invited to join the American Economic Association’s Committee on Economic Education for a three-year term from January 2019 through December 2021.

Andrew Court Hedonic Price Article

Many people have sought to locate the original hedonic price article by Andrew Court, published in 1939. My scanned copy is available as Court_Hedonic.pdf. It is discussed in detail in a 1998 Journal of Urban Economics article, available through Science Direct (Elsevier).

Smith, Residential Mortgage Default: Theory Works and So does Policy, Using a national loan level data set we examine loan default as explained by local demographic characteristics and state level legislation that regulates foreclosure procedures and predatory lending, using a hierarchical linear model. When controlling for loan and local conditions, we observe significant variation in the default rate across states, with lower default levels in states with higher temporal and financial costs to lenders. State level legislative influences provide a foundation for discussion of national level policy that further regulates predatory lending and financial institution foreclosure activities.

Interesting Sites 

Health Economics sites. The governmental agencies have excellent sites, often providing up-to-date information long before it is available in print.

For example, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services data site is http://www.cms.gov, the NIDA site is http://www.nida.nih.gov/, and so on.

Another excellent site is the Kaiser Family Foundation, at http://www.kff.org.


 Housing Economics sites.
