David Levy, Ph.D., PIRE Senior Scientist, has a doctorate in economics from U.C.L.A. He also is a Professor of Economics at the University of Baltimore. Dr. Levy has published over 80 articles, including articles in the American Economic Review, American Journal of Public Health, JAMA, Medical Care, and Review of Economics and Statistics. He has written numerous government reports on tobacco control policy, alcohol control policy, alcohol and drug brief interventions and treatment, and cost outcome analysis. Dr. Levy has been the principal investigator of grants from the National Institutes of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. He has been overseeing the design and development of the SimSmoke tobacco policy simulation model for the last six years. He is currently PI on a 9 year grant from the NCI CISNET group that examines the impact of tobacco control policies on lung cancer rates and a grant from European Union developing SimSmoke models for 15 countries in Europe. He recently completed a contract with the Bloomberg Foundation developing models for the 18 largest nations in the world and a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop an obesity model of policies directed at sugar sweetened beverages.
