Jasmina Spasojevic graduated from City University of New York Graduate Center with a Ph.D. in Economics in 2003. Professor Spasojevic taught courses in micro- and macro-economics and health economics. She also taught research methodology in the public adminstration masters program.

Professor Spasojevic’s research interests include health economics, public policy and health outcomes and behaviors, and education and health. She investigates the relationship between education and health using Swedish data in her doctoral research in an attempt to assess whether more schooling causes better health. The study takes advantage of the Swedish comprehensive school reform, a unique social experiment, in order to estimate the causal effect of schooling on health.
