A few examples of priority research areas are:

income-based, government subsidies for health insurance affect labor supply
decisions of different types of workers, and if changes occur, how will
these compositional changes in the labor force affect wages?
· How will the expansion of health insurance under the Affordable
Care Act affect worker personal finances and use of social programs?
· How will employers reorganize their workforce to minimize the
cost of the Affordable Care Act and what effect will this have on
employment and wages?
· How will employers alter the structure of health insurance
benefits and how will this affect wages and employment of different types
of workers?
· How will expansion of health insurance under the Affordable Care
Act affect worker productivity, wages, employment, and mobility?
