Pedro Jorge Alves, PhD
I am an economist and researcher working at the intersection of applied microeconomics, regional and urban economics, and public policy. I am currently a Substitute Professor of Economics at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and a researcher at the Laboratory for Economics and Public Policy Evaluation (LEAP).
My research combines causal inference, spatial methods, and large administrative and geospatial datasets to study public policies and socioeconomic outcomes in Brazil, with particular interests in regional and urban economics, education, health, transportation, and natural disasters.
