Congratulations to GSU Economics PhD student Sukriti Beniwal (@beniwalsukriti.bsky.social) on receiving the Horowitz Foundation Fellowship.

Her research on midwife licensure and maternal health outcomes is a significant contribution to public health policy and maternal equity.

Honored to receive the Graduate Student Paper Award at #SRSA this year! Grateful for the support of my advisors and mentors, and excited to keep digging into health policy & economics.

◾EITC receipts in the community increase
◾ workers' incomes go down

as a direct result.

"Walmart Supercenters gradually accumulate and exercise monopsony power, with negative consequences for workers."

And that’s wrap for #SEA2024. Thank you so much for an amazing session.

@cynthiaccox.bsky.social looked at this. Turns out new mothers have a lot of other expenses, and a little bit of cost-sharing is enough to push some into debt.
