"Abortion Access and Long-Run Household Outcomes: Evidence from Population-Wide, Linked Administrative Data"
Abstract This paper studies the long-run effects of abortion on economic and health outcomes for entire families (females, partners, and children) using population-wide, linked administrative data at the individual level. We exploit a 2013 policy change in Australia that shifted insurance coverage for the abortion pill from no coverage to universal coverage, and show that it increased abortion uptake and, importantly, reduced the share of pregnancies that end in births. We then show that abortion leads to a persistent increase in female labor supply, while their partners do not change their labor market behavior. However, partners experience significant improvements in mental health up to ten years after the event. Existing children in the household also benefit: income per child rises, the likelihood of future university attendance increases, boys’ mental health improves, and girls’ use of oral contraceptives increases.

"Healthcare Provider Bankruptcies" with Samuel Antill, Jessica Bai, Ashvin Gandhi [Paper]
Abstract Healthcare firms are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy at record rates. We find that bankruptcies increase healthcare staff turnover, worsen care, and harm patients. Using a difference-in-differences design, we estimate that a bankruptcy filing immediately increases staff turnover and worsens the firm's performance on unannounced inspections. Next, using a patient-distance-to facility instrument, we document that bankruptcies harm patients through increases in hospitalizations, physical restraints, and bedsores. Finally, we employ a randomized survey experiment of nursing home staff to confirm that bankruptcy filings increase voluntary departures and that replacement workers harm patients.

"Are Guidelines Worth Following? Treatment Decisions Under Scientific Uncertainty"
Abstract Physicians often deviate from medical guidelines, but the evidence base for guidelines is often incomplete and unrepresentative. We study prescribing decisions covered by a prominent guideline for treating atrial fibrillation in patients at higher risk for stroke. Following the guideline's introduction, physicians rapidly demonstrated awareness of it, yet they often declined to adhere to it, even for patients with the highest stroke risk. Using machine learning on eight randomized trials of anticoagulation, we find significant heterogeneity in the benefits of stroke reduction. However, the trials do not (and were not designed to) reveal heterogeneity in the harm of induced bleeding. In the observational data, we find that bleed risk is positively correlated with stroke reduction, raising the possibility that patients who benefit most from treatment may also suffer greater harm from it. Analyzing the performance of treatment rules based on current guidelines, we show that these guidelines may perform worse than randomly treating patients. We develop and analyze new guidelines robust to scientific uncertainty, according to maximin and minimax-regret objectives, and we demonstrate that these robust guidelines may significantly improve welfare relative to observed treatment decisions. Finally, accounting for scientific uncertainty has substantive implications for evaluating the quality of physician decision-making and algorithmic rules based on physician behavior.
