Davide Viviano

I joined BSE in 2016-2017 just after a Bachelor’s degree in Economics at Luiss Guido Carli in Rome and after an experience of studies in statistics at UBC, Vancouver. After my Master’s at BSE, I completed a PhD in Economics at UC San Diego, with a specialization in Econometrics. I received and accepted an offer to join the Department of Economics at Harvard as an Assistant Professor, which I will join after one year of post-doc at Stanford GSB in 2022-2023.

My research combines economics and data science to develop or justify statistical methods for applications in social sciences, with a focus on policy design and causal inference. During my PhD, I have also been a short-term visiting researcher at Facebook (Core Data Science), working on the design and analysis of experiments.
