#  Hannah Factor 

PhD Candidate in Health Policy (G2, Economics)

 

 

 



Hannah Factor graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in 2019 with a BA in Economics and a secondary major in Public Policy. After graduation, Hannah was a Research Fellow with the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality where she spent a year recruiting and conducting in-depth interviews with households across southern Appalachia. Following her fellowship, she worked as an Economist at RTI International, supporting the launch and implementation of large-scale alternative payment models for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). Most recently, Hannah was a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Tobin Center for Economic Policy at Yale University, working with Professors Chima Ndumele and Jacob Wallace on a series of projects studying the relationship between the SNAP and Medicaid programs. Her research interests sit at the intersection between the social safety net and healthcare markets, with a focus on how both administrative burdens and market incentives shape access to publicly funded programs.
