About

Hello, my name is Yuri Barreto. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the Federal University of Pernambuco. I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at IGIER (Bocconi University), and a Research Fellow at CLEAN.

My research has been published in journals such as the Journal of Development Economics and the Journal of Urban Economics. In 2024, I received the CAPES Thesis Award for the best doctoral thesis in economic sciences in Brazil, as well as the Haralambos Simeonidis Prize for the best PhD thesis. Previously, I worked as a consultant with the Development Impact (DIME) group at the World Bank.
