About Me
Welcome to my web page! My name is Marcie. I am a passionate researcher with diverse interests, including health economics, behavioral economics, and development economics. In particular, driven by the fascination with the intersection of human genetics, gerontology, social determinants and economics, my recent research primarily revolves around exploring genotype-environment interactions and their influence on economic outcomes for aging Hispanic population.
