EP #408 - 2.3.2022 - The Evidence on Face Masks and COVID-19

Today I welcome economist Jason Abaluck to discuss his research on mask wearing and COVID-19.

Jason Abaluck is a professor of economics in the Yale University school of management. His work lies at the intersection of public finance, behavioral economics, health economics and industrial organization. His research focuses on the detection of mistakes and the design of institutions when consumers or providers make mistakes in contexts such as health plan choice, dietary choice, or the provision of medical care.
