Recent publications include research on the effect of State Offices of Minority Health on Black infant death rates, the effect of job-protected parental leave policies in OECD countries on infant mortality rates, the effect of women’s representation in state legislatures on premature mortality, and gender bias during oral arguments at the US Supreme Court.
