She was a member of the women's team that set a world record in a swimming relay from Palos Verdes to Santa Catalina Island in 1994,[5] and swam the English Channel in 1999.[6][7] She is a member of the Alaska Swimming Hall of Fame.[8]
Research
Royer's research focuses on causal inference in health economics.[9] She has studied how education affects health using variation induced by school-entry and compulsory schooling policies in the U.S. and in England.[10] In work with Mariana Carrera, she also found that commitment contracts, which offered people funds to go to the gym during a three-month experiment period, were effective at motivating people to develop a habit of gym-going that lasted for years after the experiment ended.[11][12][13]
