Research Groups

The Brazilian Women in Economics is a research group that aims to study the various dimensions of the gender gap in Brazil. We are specifically interested in the relative lack of women in Economics, at the various stages of the academic career and in the labor market. We also intend to promote higher participation of women in Economics, by increasing the connections between those who work in the private and public sector, as well as the academia.

GLOBAL HEALTH ECONOMETRICS & ECONOMICS GROUP (GHE2)

Our core objective is to address the major evidence gap in impact and value-for-money evaluations of health interventions, to improve health outcomes in LMICs (low- and middle-income countries).

We apply state-of-the-art empirical methods to existing but under-exploited data sources to assess average population health impact and distributional effects. This allows us to establish both whether interventions work overall, and whether health outcomes for the poorest and most vulnerable improve more than those of the rich.
