Biographical Statement
Laugesen is an assistant professor at the UCLA School of Public Health. Originally from New Zealand, she received her PhD in political science from the University of Melbourne (Australia) and an MA from Washington University while on a Fulbright. She previously studied health policy at Harvard in 1996-1997. Her research is focused on US health regulation and comparative public policy. Laugesen's comparative work explores how policy feedback from market reform in the 1990s led to policy reversals. She has published articles in the Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, Health Services Research, Inquiry, and Health Policy. At CES she will extend her past work on market reforms to European countries with social insurance. She is at CES from September of 2006 through August of 2007.
