Eduardo Cenci

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the Department of Economics and the Division of Public Affairs at the University of Utah. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. 

I obtained my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I also completed the Delta Certificate in Teaching and Learning. 

My research interests are migration, labor mobility, and rural development broadly defined. In particular, I am interested in the role of migration in spreading knowledge and accelerating economic transformations. 

As an educator, I strive to make economic education relevant and accessible to all students. I have experience teaching Principles of Economics, Microeconomics, Program Evaluation, Applied Econometrics, and Quantitative Methods and Tools.  

I grew up on a farm in central Brazil and worked many years in my family’s farming business before transitioning to academia. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, running, and reading sci-fi.
