Yuliana Sameroynina has joined LAI’s New York City office as a researcher. Her focus is to support the research of LAI’s senior economists in that office, both case-specific and general research. Ms. Sameroynina has just completed work on the American Community Survey, the data from which LAI’s economists are pooling across multiple years. She is presently working with the NSSRN data set, a national database regarding nurses and their earnings. This is in support of the research by some of LAI’s economists on the determination of the level of nurses’ wages and changes thereto. Ms. Sameroynina also teaches microeconomic theory at New York University, where she recently completed her masters in economics.
