Katie Leinenbach
Emory Economics Ph.D. Candidate
I am a fifth-year Economics Ph.D candidate at Emory University. I am on the job market this year. I am broadly interested in health and labor economics. Currently, my research agenda focuses on the effects of marijuana legislation on adults aged 50 years and older. My job market paper examines how decriminalization and recreational and medical marijuana dispenaries affect the health and labor market participation of this vulnerable population.
