CURRENT PROJECTS:
I am investigating various factors related to adult health in the United States. In one paper, I am looking at whether married people in a commuting relationship lose some of the health benefits of marriage and also whether unmarried cohabiters gain some of the health benefits of marriage. I am also examining factors related to adult mortality in the United States, especially the effect of moderate consumption of alcohol.
