Research Interests

Brian Elbel recently completed his PhD in health policy with a concentration in health economics at Yale University. He currently studies consumer and patient decision making within the health system, largely from the perspective of behavioral economics and bounded rationality. His dissertation utilized both experimental and econometric techniques to examine how Medicare beneficiaries respond to the health plan choices available to them. Specifically, he examined how the size and make up of the choice set influences consumers? propensity to enroll in and/or switch plans when dissatisfied. As consumers/patients are increasingly involved in the delivery of their healthcare, he plans to continue studying how they are responding to this trend, as well as how we might better assist them in their decision making. In addition to his primary appointment in DGIM, he also has an academic appointment with the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
