NICHOLAS PAPAGEORGE is the Broadus Mitchell Professor in the economics department at Johns Hopkins University, where he has taught since 2012. He is also Associate Director of the Poverty and Inequality Research Lab and Hopkins, which is an interdisciplinary institute studying questions related to economic disadvantage. Papageorge’s research focuses on questions in education, labor and health. He has made specific contributions related to unequal effects of medical innovation, how people choose to engage in risky behavior, low mental health treatment use, teacher-student race-match effects, and the role of teacher expectations in influencing student outcomes. He has also investigated molecular genetic data in social scientific analysis. In recent years, he has focussed on community college students' trajectories, the use of qualitative data in economic analysis, and the integration of economic models of behavior and epidemiological models of pathogen spread (for which he has received several grants, including from the National Science Foundation). He is also currently pursuing research in the U.S. and Colombia related to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias, especially focussed on the subtle economic effects of these conditions on earlier life outcomes and among people who are not necessarily diagnosed or showing outward signs of illness.
