Michalopoulos is an expert on experimental and nonexperimental statistical methods and on social policies for more disadvantaged groups. His most recent work focuses on MDRC’s growing agenda related to health — he is co-principal investigator on a national evaluation of home visiting programs for disadvantaged mothers funded and authorized by the federal health care legislation, is leading two MDRC evaluations of coordinated care for high-cost Medicaid recipients, and is conducting an impact analysis of care management for depressed Medicaid recipients in Rhode Island. He was also co-principal investigator for the Accelerated Benefits Demonstration, an evaluation of the effects of offering health care coverage to new uninsured recipients of Disability Insurance benefits. His other work has included studies of financial work incentives for welfare recipients, child care subsidy policies, and programs that aim to strengthen the marriages of low-income couples. Among his publications are several reports and articles synthesizing the effects of welfare and work policies, employment and training programs, and financial work incentives. Michalopoulos earned a doctorate in economics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1994 and was an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Virginia Tech.
