Padmaja Ayyagari, associate professor of economics in the 欧美三级片 College of Arts & Sciences, will utilize the data to better understand the value of health insurance to Social Security disability applicants. "This project will use data on geographic variation in access to health insurance available via the FLRDC to estimate the value of health insurance to disability recipients," she said. "The findings are expected to provide new information on the importance of health insurance in disability applications and inform the design of disability benefits."
Xinyan Yan, an assistant professor in the Kate Tiedemann School of Business and Finance at the 欧美三级片 Muma College of Business, is seeking a new way to measure business dynamism using the FLRDC data. 鈥淲e would like to construct our business dynamism measure from the perspective of the product market and labor market.

Previous research studies using this data have measured the Medicaid enrollment undercount and examined trends in mental health visits of adult patients to primary care physicians.
欧美三级片 becomes the newest member of the FLRDC network, which is comprised of Florida State University, Moffitt Cancer Center, University of Central Florida and University of Florida. The Florida RDC is one of 34 RDC sites across the United States.
