Research Investigator, Population Studies Center
Ph.D., University of California - Berkeley
Dr. MacInnis’s research focuses on the economic incentives that influence consumers’ health production and labor market participation decisions, and the impact of public policies and market imperfections. In her dissertation, Dr. MacInnis examined the relationships between parental occupational choice and children’s physical and cognitive health, the effect of the changing nature of food manufacturing on childhood obesity, and the long-term dual impact of college education and military service on obesity and related health morbidities. Her current research focuses on the economic well-being, physical and mental health, and retirement expectation of the baby boomer generation, and the impact of the baby boom on Social Security and Medicare programs.
