Professional Overview and Research Areas
Dr. Yanyun He is a health economist. Her area of expertise lies in the economic analysis and policy evaluation for tobacco use behaviors. Her research has largely been focused on analyzing policy impacts on tobacco use both in the US and internationally. Her earlier research has used global data and evaluated the impact of several tobacco control policies, such as the warning label requirements and the point-of-sale display bans, on tobacco use. After joining Shang’s lab in April 2022, she continued her research in the field of tobacco control with a special focus on the US tobacco control policy evaluation, such as licensing tobacco retailers, non-tax policy restrictions on the price of alcohol and tobacco, and taxation, etc. She studied the disparities in policy effectiveness, with an emphasis on vulnerable populations, such as low-income people and minority races. She also dug into emerging tobacco products, such as smokeless tobacco and electronic cigarettes, and studied the taxation of these products on adolescent use. In addition, she expands her research on other substance use behaviors, such as alcohol and marijuana, and examined the economic relationship between several addictive substances.
