Alessandra Hidalgo-Arestegui

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Lancaster University, where I also completed an MSc in Economics. I hold a BA in Economics from Universidad de Piura in Peru.

My research sits at the intersection of development economics, human capital, and gender. I study how conflict, health policy, and climate shocks shape intergenerational mobility and wellbeing, with a focus on children and adolescents in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. I combine quasi-experimental methods with administrative, survey, and geospatial data to produce policy-relevant evidence on education, health, fertility, labor, and poverty.
