Sabin Subedi

PhD Candidate in Economics

University of Strathclyde

I am submitting my PhD at the University of Strathclyde in September 2026, supervised by Dr. Markus Gehrsitz and Prof. Stuart McIntyre. My doctoral research addresses selection and healthcare utilisation in public health insurance, and the role of remittances in household production after a natural disaster. I work with large-scale administrative microdata and quasi-experimental methods.

I am an ONS Accredited Researcher. I have extensive teaching experience across undergraduate and postgraduate economics, and I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).

I am seeking postdoctoral, teaching, policy, and industry research positions in economics, beginning September 2026.

Please refer to my CV for further details. For enquiries or collaboration, email contact@sabinsubedi.com.

Adverse Selection in (Un)Subsidised Health Insurance: Evidence from Nepal’s Age-70 Threshold

Working Paper

Nepal waives health insurance premiums at age 70. I use that statutory waiver in a regression discontinuity design to produce the first quasi-experimental estimate of adverse selection in a national insurance scheme in a low- or middle-income country.
