Decoding Dementia: What You Need to Know
RAND's Peter Hudomiet and Jodi Liu discuss the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, why early detection is so important, and what the treatment landscape looks like.
Peter Hudomiet is a senior economist at RAND. His research interests include applied econometrics, labor economics, economics of aging, and health economics.
Most recently, Hudomiet has published papers about trends and inequalities in mortality, health, and the prevalence of dementia in the United States; the age profile of life satisfaction after age 65; the effect of technological change on retirement; subjective and objective job demands at older ages; and the effect of psychological factors and personality traits on retirement outcomes.
Currently, he is conducting research on dementia (prevalence, associated costs, diagnostic errors in Medicare data); retirement (non-traditional retirement paths, job mismatch, cognitive and health barriers to extend working lives, effects of technological change); and the accuracy of subjective probabilistic expectations (mortality expectations, job loss expectations, improving measurement of subjective expectations). Hudomiet has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan, an M.A. in economics from the Central European University, and an M.Sc. in computer science from the Budapest University of Technology.
