LUÍS MELONI

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of São Paulo.

My research lies at the intersection of Political Economy and Public Economics, combining applied microeconomics and causal inference to study how institutions and information shape development and governance outcomes.

 

My current projects investigate how media ownership and information access affect political accountability and power persistence, as well as how policy design influence the effectiveness of public programs in education, regulation, and procurement.

 

Previously, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie PODER-CEPR Fellow at Bocconi University and a visiting scholar at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
