The Incidental Economist is a blog focused on health economics and policy. It was founded in 2009 by Austin Frakt, a health economist at Boston University, who has since been joined by Aaron Carroll, a pediatrician at Indiana University School of Medicine, as co-Editor-in-Chief. The site features posts by the two as well as a number of contributing writers, who are primarily academics based across the United States. The authors often synthesize academic literature as it might relate to contemporary health policy issues. The blog gained prominence in 2009–10 when it was often cited by journalists, such as Ezra Klein,〔E.g. Klein, E. (2009). (Letters to health-care Santa: Bring the market to Medicare Advantage, and the House's employer mandate to the final bill ). ''The Washington Post''. December 22.〕 Kevin Drum,〔E.g. Drum, K. (2010). (Is health insurance good for you? ) ''Mother Jones''. February 15.〕 Jonathan Cohn〔E.g. Cohn, J. (2010). (Give me insurance or give me death ). ''The New Republic''. February 16.〕 and Andrew Sullivan,〔E.g. Sullivan, A. (2010). (Pass. The. Damn. Bill ). ''The Atlantic''. February 1.〕〔See the blog's (Selected Citations page ) for additional citations of note.〕 who were covering the health care reform process that would eventually culminate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The blog remains one of the most widely-cited health policy blogs on the Internet. == Regular contributors == * Austin Frakt (founder, co-Editor-in-Chief): health economist at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, associate professor at Boston University, contributor to The New York Times' ''The Upshot''〔 (About Austin )〕 * Aaron Carroll (co-Editor-in-Chief): professor of pediatrics and dean for research mentoring at Indiana University School of Medicine, contributor to The New York Times' ''The Upshot''〔 (About Aaron )〕 * Adrianna McIntyre (Managing Editor): MPH/MPP dual-degree student at the University of Michigan〔 (About Adrianna )〕 * Kevin Outterson: associate professor of law and public health at Boston University〔 (About Kevin )〕 * Harold Pollack: professor at the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago〔 (About Harold )〕 * Bill Gardner: child psychologist and health services researcher at Dalhousie University and The Ohio State University〔 (About Bill )〕 * Nicholas Bagley: assistant professor of law at the University of Michigan〔 (About Nicholas ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Incidental Economist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
