University of Massachusetts Lowell s proposal on Economic Evaluation of Interventions to Prevent Manual Material Handling Injuries in the Informal Labor Sector in collaboration with the University of Calcutta (PI: Somnath Gangopadhyay, India side) is a project approved by the Joint Working Group between India s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the US Department of Health and Human Services (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). The objective is to collaborate in developing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates economic analysis (net-cost model) with health effectiveness analysis for evaluating 3

4 intervention strategies in manual material handling in developing countries; to develop and estimate economic models to assess cost-effectiveness of interventions. Co-Investigator ( ) Head of the Economic Analysis Team. (CPH-NEW): The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace which was supported by Grant Number 1 U19 OH from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

(2002). Evaluated the cost-effectiveness of specific interventions in two different studies for the prevention of occupationally induced i)back pain and ii) silicosis, using the simulation models based on the generalized cost effectiveness analysis (GCEA) developed by the WHO-Choice initiative for several of the WHO defined subregions of the world(who, 2002). Prepared Commissioned Background papers for the Box 5.5, pp130 in chapter 5, The World Health Report 2002, World Health Organization Principal Investigator: ( ). (Sponsor WHO) Cost Effectiveness Study on Occupational and Environmental Health WHO Task Force 14.Acted as project director and supervised the work in a joint project by three WHO Collaborating Centers in Occupational Health, University of Massachusetts at Lowell in the United States, TNO Work and Employment in The Netherlands, the National Institute of Occupational Health in India and an NGO the Institution of Public Health Engineers, India. Developed and 4

5 estimated an economic model (UML Net-Cost Model)at the facility level that can estimate the net economic costs of workplace interventions by incorporating not only the costs of investment of equipment and labor, but also by taking into account the avoided costs of lost work time, medical care costs, and productivity improvements. Visiting Scientist/Research Associate ( ) (MIT) Extended the MIT Emission Prediction and Policy Analysis Model (EPPA) as a team member in the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change by incorporating the Effects of Changing Consumption Patterns on the Costs of Emission Restrictions; ; As member of a research team at MIT produced Commissioned Background Papers for Chapter 8, Box8.6: pp.164 World Development Report 1992: Development and the Environment, Published for the World Bank, Oxford University Press, _ /Rendered/PDF/multi_page.pdf.Worked on several other Computable and Applied General Equilibrium Models to study the energy, economy and environmental interactions.
