Anne Catherine Case (born July 27, 1958) is an American economist who is currently the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs, Emeritus, at Princeton University.[1]

Early life and career[]

She graduated from University at Albany, SUNY in 1980 and obtained a Master of Public Affairs from Princeton University in 1983, followed by a Ph.D from the university in 1988. After working as an assistant professor at Department of Economics at Harvard University 1988-1991, she has worked at Department of Economics, Princeton University and Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs since 1991, becoming a professor in 1997 and the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs in 2007. She currently serves as the Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs Emeritus (effective as of July 1, 2017).[2]

Her research fields include labor economics, health economics and development studies.[2] Her research has led to the discovery that midlife mortality rates have increased for white, non-Hispanics in the U.S. with a high school diploma or less, while midlife mortality rates in other rich countries have fallen. She attributes rise in mortality rates to drugs, alcohol, and suicide, also known as "deaths of despair."[3]

Awards[]

In 2003, she received the Kenneth J. Arrow Award in health economics. She became a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2009, a Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in 2012, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the National Academy of Medicine in 2017.[2] In 2016, she received the National Academy of Sciences Cozzarelli Prize for her work on U.S. morbidity and mortality.[4] Case was appointed to a three year term as a member of the President's Committee on the National Medal of Science, as well as the Committee on National Statistics.[5] "The committee consists of 12 scientists and engineers appointed by the President to evaluate nominees for the Medal, which is given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, engineering, social and behavioral sciences."[6] Case was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2020.[7]
