LUÍS N. MELONI

Welcome to my website!
​

I am an assistant professor (with tenure) of Economics at the University of São Paulo, currently on leave as a visiting scholar at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. My research is organized around two main areas. The first focuses on public economics and policy evaluation, where I study the effectiveness of public policies across different domains, ranging from education to regulation and public procurement.  The second line of research lies in political economy, with a particular interest in how traditional and digital media influence political dynamics, institutional development, and the persistence of political power.

​

Before joining the University of São Paulo, I was a research fellow at the  São Paulo School of Economics (EESP-FGV) and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie PODER-CEPR Fellow at Bocconi University.
