Hello!! Welcome to my website.

I am Caíque Melo, PhD Candidate in Social and Political Science at Bocconi University, PhD Research Fellow at Clean/BAFFI Research Center, and Research Affiliate at GAPPE. My research interests focus on Political Economy and Development Economics broadly defined, relying strongly on causal inference methods. 

I also had the chance to work on policy evaluation alongside organizations such as The United Nations, The World Bank, OECD, International Labor Organization, and the Ministry of Education of Brazil, among others.

You can find my CV here, my research statement here, and my Google Scholar profile here. I also have a (shamefully) neglected Twitter account here.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss research or policy work.
