Inside Alvarez Business Podcast

Professor Karimi’s research is positioned at the intersection of Global Health, Healthcare Supply Chains, and Socially Responsible Supply Chains. In particular, his research endeavors are focused on improving access to essential health commodities (e.g., contraceptives, antimalarials, HIV medication) in Low- and Middle-income Countries (LMICs). 

Focusing on this context, Karimi’s research aims to:
(i) Empirically evaluate and uncover the factors that contribute to health commodity stock-outs in developing countries by leveraging field data and using a combination of rigorous econometric and predictive modeling techniques;
(ii) Generate actionable insights that public health organizations, governments, and donors can use to mitigate the risk of stock-outs in developing countries.
