Emily is on a mission to empower parents by providing the data and tools they need to make confident decisions. After getting a PhD in economics from Harvard, she went on to pursue research in health economics and is now a professor of economics at Brown University. As a mom of two, Emily was inspired by her own pregnancy and the lack of clear information to guide her decisions. She decided to use her expertise in reviewing and analyzing data to help other parents navigate these topics. She is a New York Times best-selling author, whose books include [Expecting Better](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/310896/expecting-better-by-emily-oster), [Cribsheet](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/572658/cribsheet-by-emily-oster), [The Unexpected](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717163/the-unexpected-by-emily-oster-and-nathan-fox-md), and [The Family Firm](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/639450/the-family-firm-by-emily-oster).
