Margie Rosenberg

Marjorie A. Rosenberg is a professor in the Department of Risk and Insurance at the Wisconsin School of Business.

Rosenberg’s research interests are in the application of statistical methods to health care, and applying her actuarial expertise to cost and policy issues in health care.

Prior to her starting on her academic career, Rosenberg worked as an individual life pricing and product development actuary for Allstate Life Insurance Company.

She holds a Ph.D. in statistics and management science from the University of Michigan.
