Working paper available on medrxiv [https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.12.20129551](https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.12.20129551 ) Summary - A collaborative research effort with researchers and clinicians at the University of Utah. We present a method for projecting COVID-19 post-acute care needs. Our model is designed to take the output from any of the numerous epidemiological models (hospital discharges) and estimate the flow of patients to post-acute care services, thus providing a similar surge planning model for post-acute care services. See my [my blog post about this project](/post/post-acute-care/).

We developed a spatio-temporal model for simulating the economic impacts of various elk management policies under varying disease scenarios.

We investigate the possibility of overcoming the free-riding problem through creating social capital via communication. Using data from a public goods experiment, we empirically test the effectiveness of two commonly used types of communication interventions in various organizations — structured, goal-oriented communication and unstructured, free-form communication — in creating social capital.

My primary contribution was reviewing the use of integer programming problems in reserve site selection, the optimization algorithms used to solve them, and how the objective functions could be modified to include additional economic factors.
