María Pía Iocco

I am a PhD in Economics candidate, working on the economics of education in Latin America with a focus on Chile, with a special interest in the impact evaluation of policies related to teachers, school closures, technical or vocational education, and curricula reform.
Besides educational topics, I have ample experience in working as a consultant on topics such as entrepreneurship, electricity access, social policies, public administration, labour markets, and insurance and pensions in Chile, Brazil, United Kingdom, United States, Netherlands, and Thailand.
