This fall the CSFE is hosting a small seminar course, Liberty over lunch. The course will discuss current research and host guest speakers through a generous gift from the Barnes Family Foundation of North Carolina.
Our Liberty over lunch seminar hosted our first guest scholar, Appalachian State University Economist and The Knee CSOR Research Affiliate, Shishir Shakya, on September 1st.
He presented two working papers:
1. Impacts of Certificate-of-need State Laws on Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities and Services
2. Access to Mental Health Care Services & Suicide Rates in the United States
Professor Shakya did an amazing job describing the intuition of his research, the potential types of endogeneity present, and how his methods address theses types of endogeneity.
He also chatted one-on-one with many students about their career aspiration. It was a fabulous way to kickoff the seminar this fall!
