Pauline Mourot is an applied-microeconomist interested in healthcare, working at the intersection of health, labor, and organizational economics. Her research explores the organization of healthcare markets at a micro-level and examines its consequences in the aggregate, notably in terms of quality, patient health outcomes, and inequality in access to care. Her current work highlights the importance of understanding the joint production function of doctors and hospitals to determine the impact of doctor sorting across hospitals on aggregate patient outcomes, and shows how trade costs and economies of scale shape the spatial distribution of production and consumption of healthcare services in the U.S.
