AMANDA STARC, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Strategy at the Kellogg School of Management and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). She received her BA in Economics from Case Western Reserve University, and her PhD in Business Economics from Harvard University. Dr. Starc’s research agenda sits at the intersection of industrial organization and health economics. Her research spans three main themes. First, she studies the fundamental economic question of what health insurance covers and how it is priced. Second, she studies how information shapes consumer demand for both insurance and health care. Finally, she studies the efficacy of market mechanisms in allocating goods and services in health care markets.
