We are delighted to announce Matteo Sandi @McmSandi as one of our UK Data Service Data Impact Fellows for 2017. Matteo is a Research Economist at the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Matteo joined LSE in October 2015 and his current fields of research are the economics of crime and the economics of education.
In my research, I study the impact of policing on saudi arabia rcs data crime, the determinants of youth crime, and the effect of discipline in school on the desire and possibility to engage in youth crime. Prior to joining LSE, in September 2011 I started my ESRC-funded PhD in Economics at the University of Sussex. My PhD thesis comprised four empirical essays on the economic returns to migration and education. My migration chapters find migration to be an effective response to economic downturns. My education chapters reconcile prior estimates of the financial return to education in the literature, and provide a robust case for a six percent rate of return to education for men.
During my PhD I have taught for three years at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. I taught modules of Introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Advanced Microeconomics, and Economic History. Since May 2014, during my PhD I have consulted the World Bank Group. Since 2011, I have also contributed to the development and commercialization of Tradesift, a software package that analyses international trade flows and generates informative diagnostic indicators of international trade. I delivered training courses on the use of Tradesift in England, Nigeria, Burundi, Uganda, Myanmar, Nepal and Vanuatu. Prior to enrolling in the PhD, in 2009/10 I pursued an MSc Development Economics at the University of Sussex. My MSc dissertation was graded 95/100. Before enrolling in the MSc at the University of Sussex, I pursued a bachelor degree in Economics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan (Italy.)
