Rebecca Sachs
Rebecca is a senior majoring in Public Policy and Economics, with an interest in health and labor policy. She's currently writing an honors thesis analyzing the impact of health care reform on job-lock using data surrounding Massachusetts' 2006 reform. This past summer, Rebecca had the opportunity to see the interaction between policy and economics firsthand as an intern at the White House Council of Economic Advisors in Washington. This built off of her experience working at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget as part of the Stanford in Washington program. She has further pursued her interests by spending a summer studying at the London School of Economics and serving as a research assistant for Professor John Pencavel on a project looking at union decline. Classes like Public Policy 154: Politics and Policy in California and Public Policy 104: Economic Policy Analysis helped Rebecca discover her interest in the quantitative evaluation of policy. After graduating, she hopes to pursue a PhD in Economics.
