William T. Gallo, Ph.D.
Research Scientist, Division of Health Policy and Administration
William Gallo is a health economist and gerontologist whose primary research interest is the health and behavioral effects of involuntary job loss in workers nearing retirement. His current research attempts to decompose the complex set of events that occur after job loss to identify potential causal pathways from job separation to adverse health and mortality. A secondary line of inquiry is the effect of occupation class and social standing on trajectories of health.
Dr. Gallo is a faculty affiliate at the Yale Program on Aging, and has been a faculty mentor in the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and a faculty affiliate at Yale’s RAND/Hartford Center for Interdisciplinary Geriatric Research.
