Health Consequences of a Changing Economy

Can Cash Transfers and Wealth Building Interventions Boost the Nation’s Health?

This was the question tackled in our virtual seminar, “Boosting Health Through Economic Policy,” moderated by OfH Lab Director, Dr. Atheendar Venkataramani. Panelists explored insights from over 100 pilot projects on the potential benefits (and challenges) of unrestricted cash assistance. This was sponsored jointly by our lab and University of Pennsylvania’s Leonard Davis Insititute of Health Economics.
