Ezra Golberstein, PhD

My research lies at the intersection between health services and policy research and health economics. One of my main areas of interest is on mental health, the economics of mental health, and mental health care policy. My work examines the effects of health insurance changes, provider incentives, and practice innovations on health care use and outcomes for people with mental health problems.
