Brief Biography
Jennifer Schultz, PhD is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics and Director of the Health Care Management Program in the Labovitz School of Business and Economics at the University of Minnesota Duluth. She is currently evaluating the direct costs of insomnia; costs associated with misdiagnosing bipolar disorder; the effects of health insurance benefit costs on demand for part-time labor and retirement decisions; demand for voluntary health insurance in Europe; and the effects of social capital on health in the U.S. and Australia. She teaches courses in health economics, econometrics and health policy.
Prior to joining the University of Minnesota, Dr. Schultz was a faculty member at Cornell University where she analyzed consumer decision-making in health care, use of health care information, and perceptions of quality differences across health care providers. Dr. Schultz’s previous research has also included an evaluation of consumer driven health care, an investigation of the selection of health care provider groups by employees and families to determine their sensitivity to price and quality measures, and an empirical analysis of risk redefinition. As a research consultant for UnitedHealth Group, she analyzed health care utilization and costs for a variety of health conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar disorder, hyperlipidemia, cancer, migraine, and asthma.
