She graduated with a bachelor's in economics and German Literature from Hamilton College in 1994. After a year studying in Europe as a Watson Fellow, she obtained a doctorate degree in economics from University of Maryland, College Park in 1999.[2]
She is a research associate at the NBER, affiliated with the Children, Health Care, and Health Economics programs,[3] an associate editor of the Journal of Health Economics,[4] and a Co-Editor for the Journal of Human Resources.[5] Simon was also elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2021.[6] She is consulted by the press as an expert in the field of health care economics.[7][8][9]
Recently, some of her work has focused on the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the labour market regarding work hours; she finds very minimal effect on part-time work as a result of the institution of the law.[10][11]
