Meet Alex Chan
Alex Chan is an Assistant Professor of Business Administration in the Negotiation, Organizations & Markets Unit at Harvard Business School. He studies market design, with a focus on healthcare markets and AI-driven or AI-impacted markets.
Professor Chan is an economist interested in how market failures occur, how such failures lead to divergence in economic outcomes, and how to design incentives and engineer markets to remedy these market failures. Currently, his research focuses on identifying how the design of health policies, markets, and healthcare organizations affects allocation outcomes. As a market designer, he has worked with companies and healthcare organizations to launch actual marketplaces (e.g., a
liver exchange to find life-saving transplantation opportunities in Pakistan).
Professor Chan holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University and an M.P.H. from Harvard University. Prior to joining academia, Professor Chan has had extensive experience in the healthcare industry starting as a McKinsey consultant, and most recently as Senior Vice President of Market Strategy with Optum/UnitedHealth.
