Lucile Dehouck

I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Paris School of Economics and a research fellow at IC Migrations. 

My research lies at the intersection of environmental and development economics. I use econometric techniques, remote-sensing products, and predictive machine learning to provide new empirical evidence with the aim of helping alleviate poverty while building climate resilience. In my job market paper, I show that climate-induced water scarcity disrupts children’s education in rural Ethiopia, leveraging a novel, plausibly exogenous measure of well failure built with machine learning on geo-referenced water point and climate data.

In Spring 2025, I visited Kelsey Jack at UC Berkeley, and in Spring 2024, I was awarded an Alliance Doctoral Mobility grant to visit Wolfram Schlenker at Columbia University.

I am on the 2025/2026 Job Market.
