Joseph Doyle

Professor Doyle studies public economics in the areas of health care and child welfare. His health care research investigates sources of value and waste in order to inform policies aimed at improving the quality and cost effectiveness of the US health care system. This includes partnering with large health care providers and payers to conduct randomized controlled trials of changes to the ways in which care is delivered, with an emphasis on addressing the social determinants of health. He conducts similar investigations into foster care and juvenile justice programs.

Professor Doyle is co-director of the MIT Sloan Initiative for Health Systems Innovation and co-chair of the health sector of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).
