Heather Royer (born Шаблон:Circa) is an American economist who is a Professor of Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara[1] and a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.[2] She has been an Associate Editor of The Journal of Human Resources,[3] the Journal of Health Economics, and the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, and will become coeditor of the AEA Journal of Economic Policy in September 2021.[4]

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]
