LUÍS N. MELONI

Welcome to my website!

 

I am an assistant professor of Economics at the University of São Paulo (FEA-USP). My research focuses on two main agendas: the first centers on political economy and public economics, where I investigate the efficiency of public procurement and the relationship between media ownership, political power, and long-term development. The second agenda explores education economics and public policy, with an emphasis on how school leadership and educational programs impact student achievement and management practices in Brazil.

 

Before joining the University of São Paulo, I was a research fellow at the  São Paulo School of Economics (EESP-FGV) and a Marie Currie PODER-CEPR Fellow at Bocconi University. Starting in Winter 2025, I will be visiting Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona.
