Assistant Professor in Economics Marcus Dillender has won the 2024 CSQIEP Award for Outstanding Research Paper in LGBTQ+ Economics for his paper “Evidence and Lessons on the Health Impacts of Public Health Funding from the Fight against HIV/AIDS,” in the American Economic Review. His paper studies the impact of federal funds allocated to U.S. cities through the U.S. federal government’s primary mechanism for combating HIV in the United States—the Ryan White CARE Act. It represents one of the first studies to credibly estimate the causal effects of federal public health funding on health outcomes.
