Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Office of Tax Analysis (OTA) anticipates a staff opening in 2019 for economists with a strong interest in health insurance markets and related federal tax policy. Because tax policy affects employer-provided health benefits, individual insurance markets, and non-profit health care providers, OTA staff economists play a key role in shaping federal health policy. OTA includes about 50 PhD economists in labor, public finance and health economics, making it much larger than most university public finance departments. Current health staff members are engaged in model development, policy development and evaluation, and original research (which may be published in peer reviewed professional journals). A PhD or equivalent experience in economics, health policy, or related disciplines, strong communication skills, and U.S. citizenship are required.
