Norma B. Coe is an Associate Professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the Perelman School of Medicine. Her research interests are in health economics and public finance. Her work strives to identify causal effects of policies that directly and indirectly impact health, human behavior, health care access, and health care utilization. One focus of her research has been long-term care and long-term care insurance, and how they affect the health, work behavior, and health care utilization of current and potential caregivers. In ongoing work, funded by the NIA, Dr. Coe and her colleagues are estimating the direct and indirect costs of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), and who pays these costs: Medicare, Medicaid, the patient or the family. She is also investigating the quality of different long-term care arrangements, from family care, home care, residential care to nursing care. She received her PhD in Economics from MIT and BA in Economics from the College of William and Mary.
