Renan Chicarelli Marques

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Public Policy at Duke University, concentrating in Economics.

My research lies at the intersection of development and population economics. I'm interested in how public institutions shape human capital, and what happens when they are tested - by reform, by demographic shocks, or by the governance of who gets to move.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring new recipes, spending time outdoors, and staying active through sports.
