Stephen Snyder joined the Lehigh faculty in 2004 after receiving a Ph.D. in economics and completing a fellowship in Pharmacoeconomics. He began to study economics after a career as a quality assurance engineer and hospital administrator. His research interests are centered on the relationships between economic behavior and health. Specific questions he has investigated include: Do moderate changes in income have mortality consequences for older Americans? Did the 1918 Influenza epidemic raise later-life mortality rates for children in utero during the epidemic? Do residents of poor neighborhoods gain access to new drugs more slowly than residents of wealthier neighborhoods after controlling for insurance status? If pressed for a simple answer to each question his responses would be, "no," "no," and "yes."
