Early life and career
editCase graduated with a BA degree from the State University of New York at Albany in 1980, and subsequently obtained an MPA degree in 1983 and a PhD in economics in 1988, both from Princeton University. After working as an assistant professor in the department of economics at Harvard University from 1988-1991, she has worked in departments of economics at Princeton University and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs since 1991, becoming a professor in 1997 and the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs in 2007. She currently serves as the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs Emeritus (effective as of July 1, 2017).[2]
Her research fields include labor economics, health economics and development studies.[2] Her research has led to the discovery that midlife mortality rates have increased for white, non-Hispanics in the U.S. with a high school diploma or less, while midlife mortality rates in other rich countries have fallen. She attributes rise in mortality rates to drugs, alcohol, and suicide, also known as "deaths of despair."[3]
Awards
editIn 2003, she received the Kenneth J. Arrow Award in health economics. She became a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2009, a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in 2012, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the National Academy of Medicine in 2017.[2] In 2016, she received the National Academy of Sciences Cozzarelli Prize for her work on U.S. morbidity and mortality.[4] Case was appointed to a three year term as a member of the President's Committee on the National Medal of Science, as well as the Committee on National Statistics.[5] "The committee consists of 12 scientists and engineers appointed by the President to evaluate nominees for the Medal, which is given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, engineering, social and behavioral sciences."[6] Case was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2020.[7]
