Conference: Antidepressant Uptake and Labor Productivity

I presented The Impact of Antidepressant Uptake on Labor Productivity: Evidence from Australian Linked Administrative Data at the 15th Australasian Workshop on Econometrics and Health Economics on 15 April 2026. This is joint work with Jonas Fooken and Henry Cutler, and the workshop was a great opportunity to receive feedback from researchers working at the intersection of econometrics and health economics.

The health econometrics workshop was great as usual, and I listened to many excellent papers. There were also many PLIDA-related presentations, and it seems administrative data is becoming even more dominant in health economics in Australia than I had expected. I look forward to attending again next year.
