Luis Díaz Pavez
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Sciences Po (Paris) and Junior Economist at the Productivity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship division of the OECD. My research interests are international trade, industrial policy, industrial organization and labour economics. My research is supervised by Thierry Mayer.
I have worked in international organizations and academia, which shaped my research interests. I'm primarily interested in doing rigorous economic research on policy-relevant issues. During my career, I have worked as an economist for international organizations such as the OECD and the United Nations (ECLAC), and as a research associate at the University of Göttingen.
I hold a MSc in Development Economics from the University of Göttingen and a BSc in Economics from Universidad de Chile.
