Curriculum Vitae | Job Market Paper | Research | Teaching

Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at Georgia State University, advised by Professors James Marton, Lauren Hoehn-Velasco, Keith Teltser, and Ann DiGirolamo. I am on the 2025-2026 job market.

I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in Health, Public, Labor, and Development Economics. My research examines how access to healthcare infrastructure affects population health, with a focus on access to mental health treatment facilities (JMP), emergency medical services, and maternal healthcare. I combine cutting-edge causal inference methods with novel data from the United States and Nigeria to provide the first causal evidence on these critical policy questions.

I am also a research assistant at the Center on Health and Homelessness in the School of Public Health at Georgia State University, working on the Program and Process Evaluation’s Evidence Gap Map Project for Professor Shannon Self-Brown. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Centre for Econometric and Allied Research (CEAR) at the University of Ibadan, where I developed expertise in development economics and healthcare systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. Here is my CV, and you can reach out to me at oyusuff4@student.gsu.edu.
