Vini Singh
Assistant Professor, Carnegie Mellon University
Me: I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. I received my PhD in Health Economics and Policy from Emory University. Previously, Johns Hopkins and Rice University trained.
My research: I am a health and behavioral economist. My research interests lie at the intersection of decision theory and health policy.
I try to find evidence for theories of decision-making (from psychology and economics) within "real-world” data. To that end, I often focus on the decisions made by physicians -- a setting where decisions are plenty, consequential, and affected by a variety of interesting and policy-relevant factors.
My research has been published in journals like Science and Management Science, and has been discussed in over a hundred news outlets globally.
