Caroline Welter

Greetings and welcome to my website!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics, currently in my 4th year at West Virginia University. I hold both M.A. and B.Sc. degrees in the field. Throughout my academic journey, my research focus has revolved around the domains of Urban and Regional Economics, with a particular emphasis on its connection with Health Economics.

I have been employing rigorous Causal Inference Methods to my research. The outcome of these research has been the publication of several research papers, which I am excited to share with you on this platform. Here, you will find an extensive collection of my published works, along with a detailed curriculum vitae that outlines my academic accomplishments, research contributions, and professional experiences.
