Abigail Cormier

I am a fifth-year economics PhD candidate in the John Munro Godfrey, Sr. Department of Economics in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.

My research lies at the intersection of health and labor economics. In my dissertation, I examine how health shocks and disruptions in healthcare access affect individuals, families, and communities. I employ quasi-experimental methods to identify causal effects on health and economic outcomes.
