Hi, my name is Flávio Riva. Welcome to my website!
I work as an applied researcher at Instituto Mobilidade e Desenvolvimento Social (Imds).
My main interests are:
using causal inference tools to study human capital formation policies;
Plataforma Impacto, an evidence repository focused on the design, impacts, and operating mechanisms of public policies implemented around the world;
learning how policy-makers extract meaning from diagrams—such as problem trees, theories of change, and monitoring systems—that represent the policies they implement.
