Pedro Henrique Chaves Maia

I am a Researcher at the Mobility and Social Development Institute (Imds), and an Adjunct Professor at the EPGE Brazilian School of Economics and Finance (FGV EPGE). 

My research agenda focuses on transportation economics. In specific, I work on the implications of urban accessibility and resilience for economic growth and the welfare of city residents. I leverage big data and GIS applications to assess spatially disaggregated infrastructure effects. 

Currently, my main projects are:

• The Commuting Costs of High-Intensity Rains: Evidence from Rio de Janeiro

• The Impact of High-Intensity Rains on Neonatal Health

My wider research agenda spans urban economics, development economics, and environmental economics.
