The Institute was well represented at this year’s meeting of the Southern Economic Association. Affiliate John Garen presented research on the economics of the growth of charter schools, ISFE Post-doc Alexander McGlothlin presented his project, “A Survey of Maverick and Non-Maverick Mergers in the Airline Industry,” and affiliate Aaron Yelowitz co-authored a paper “Five Year Impact of ACA on Insurance Coverage” with ISFE Director Charles Courtemanche, as well as researchers from the University of Missouri, Georgia State University, Texas A&M University, and IMPAQ International. Charles Courtemanche also co-authored three other papers presented at the meetings, “The Effects of Traditional Cigarette and E-Cigarette Tax Rates on Adult Tobacco Product Use”, “The Effects of E-Cigarette Taxes on E-Cigarette Prices and Tobacco Product Sales: Evidence from Retail Panel Data,” and “What Is the Causal Impact of SNAP on the Food Insecurity of Seniors?”
ISFE is happy to facilitate meetings between these authors and anyone who has further interest in any of these projects.
