Prof. Laporte has published extensively in the health economics and health services research literatures.  Part of her program of research focusses on applications of theoretical and empirical economic dynamics to health-related questions.   Her work has also considered the determinants of heath at the individual level and in particular drivers of health behaviours. Her work in this area aims to explore the empirical implications of dynamic theory not just in terms of informing the equations to be estimated but the implications for the properties of the statistical methods themselves.
