Rose Professor Emeritus, MIT I am currently working with groups of physicians at a Boston teaching hospital as they define protocols to reduce unnecessary medical imaging - one part of "Bending the Curve" of rising medical costs. "The Sharp Slowdown in Growth of Medical Imaging" co-authored with David Lee of GE Healthcare, was published in the August 2012 edition of Health Affairs and documents how policy has managed to slow the growth of advanced imaging utilization (Abstract). Other papers on radiology can be downloaded below. A second paper to be posted shortly examines whether a college education in California's public higher education system is still a good investment for the individual and for the state. Other research examines the ways that computer technology and offshoring are reshaping opportunities in the labor market. The work is summarized in this working paper and in The New Division of Labor: How Computers are Creating the Next Job Market , (Princeton University Press, paperback edition 2005). Both the chapter and the book are co-authored with Richard J. Murnane. I also do research on U.S. income inequality and living standards and the economics of education. My 2007 paper with Peter Temin, "Inequality and Institutions in 20'th Century America" can be downloaded at no charge from SSRN by clicking this title. I presented a short version of this work in the first Bernie Saffran Memorial Lecture, delivered at Swarthmore College, November 15, 2007. Teaching the New Basic Skills (with Richard J. Murnane) (1996) examines the growing mismatch between what K-12 schools teach and what employers require and case studies of schools who have worked to close that gap.
