Stefanie Schurer joined the Melbourne Institute as a Research Fellow of Health Economics in November 2007. She received her PhD in April 2008 on The Role of Unobserved Heterogeneity in Labour and Health Economics from the Ruhr Graduate School in Economics, Germany and an MSc in Economics from the University of York, UK. Stefanie is an affiliate of the Health, Econometrics, and Data Group (HEDG), University of York, the current organisor of the weekly workshop of the Centre for Microeconometrics, University of Melbourne, and a member of the Australian Health Economic Association.
Her research interests lie in the field of panel data econometrics with a particular focus on modeling heterogeneity in the context of labour market and health outcomes. In addition, she is a member of the MABEL survey research team, which currently analyses the first wave of the Australian Longitudinal Survey of Doctors (https://mabel.org.au/).
Ongoing research
- Evaluating the Effects of Pay-for-Performance, Information Technology, and Accreditation on Health Care Quality in the Presence of Treatment Selection Bias (Revise & Re-submit, joint with Paul Jensen, Peter Sivey, and Anthony Scott).
- More gain, less pain? Using conditional ordered fixed effects logit models to investigate the income gradient of pain (Joint with Andrew M. Jones and Michael A. Shields).
- Relative income, personality and life satisfaction: An application of random coefficient models to Australian panel data (Joint with Jongsay Yong, Faculty Grant, The University of Melbourne, 2009)
- Are doctors satisfied with their work? Results from the MABEL longitudinal survey of doctors (Joint with Catherine Joyce and Anthony Scott).
- Health shocks, employment, and locus of control: A latent class analysis of Australian longitudinal data.
- Methods to evaluate a heterogeneous response to social policy interventions with an application using the RAND Health Insurance Experiment Data (Early Career Research Grant, The University of Melbourne, start 2010)
