Meg Blume-Kohout is the RWJF Endowed Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of New Mexico. As an applied microeconomist and public policy analyst, her research to date is largely focused in two streams: estimating the effects of changes in public R&D funding on non-federal R&D investment, academic outputs, and pharmaceutical innovation; and investigating how public health insurance programs such as Medicare Part D impact private sector behaviors, and ultimately health outcomes.
