Hi, I'm Valdemar Pinho Neto. Welcome to my website! 

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics (2018) from FGV EPGE — the Brazilian School of Economics and Finance at Fundação Getulio Vargas, in Rio de Janeiro. I was a Visiting Student Research Collaborator at Princeton University (2016–2017) and a researcher at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (2018–2020). Since 2020, I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses at FGV EPGE in Public Policy Evaluation, Labor Economics, Microeconomics, Behavioral Economics, and Applied Econometrics. I coordinated the Professional Master’s and Doctoral Program in Economics & Finance at FGV EPGE from 2023 to 2025, and I currently coordinate the Undergraduate Program in Economics at FGV EPGE. I also lead the Center for Empirical Studies in Economics (FGV CESE) . I am also a FAPERJ “Jovem Cientista do Nosso Estado” research fellow (2024–2027).
