Professor of Economics and Public Affairs and
Faculty Associate of the Office of
Population Research at Princeton University. He
is the
author or co-author of more than 300 scientific publications,
primarily in the areas of reproductive health and demographic
methodology. His recent research has been focused in

the cost-effectiveness of contraception. He has actively
promoted making emergency contraception more widely available as
an important step in helping women reduce their risk of
unintended pregnancy; in addition to his
research on this topic,
he maintains an emergency
contraception website
(not-2-late.com) and designed and launched a toll-free
emergency contraception hotline (1-888-NOT-2-LATE).
