Daniel de Abreu Pereira Uhr

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics, Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel), and a permanent faculty member of the Graduate Program in Organizations and Markets (PPGOM/UFPel). I also serve as an Affiliate Faculty member at the Graduate Program in Production Engineering, UFRGS (PPGEP/UFRGS). I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Brasília (UnB) and completed postdoctoral fellowships at both the University of São Paulo (FEA/USP) and the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). I was a Visiting Professor at the University of Alberta (Canada). 

My research program centers on Applied Econometrics, Causal Inference, and Public Policy Evaluation—with particular emphasis on semiparametric efficiency theory, panel data methods, and machine learning applications. I lead the research group Artificial Intelligence and Applied Economic Development (IDEA/CNPq) and hold a CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship. I currently serve as Vice President of the National Association of Economics Graduate Centers of Brazil (ANPEC, 2026–27) and as Associate Editor of Análise Econômica (UFRGS). My research spans Energy and Environmental Economics, Labor Economics, Law and Economics, Economic Regulation, Competition Policy, Innovation, and Technological Transformation. I am committed to developing rigorous econometric methods and producing evidence-based insights to inform real-world policy and economic development.
