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.
