Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Warwar is a PhD student in Economics at Stanford University with eight years of research and policy experience focused on public and labor economics in developing countries. He studies tax design and social insurance in high-informality contexts, combining field-oriented research stints at the World Bank and Ipea with pre-doctoral work at Bocconi. His background includes empirical research roles in Brazil and a Master’s from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, giving him deep familiarity with emerging-market institutions and data. Based in Palo Alto but originally from Brazil, he brings a practitioner’s perspective to academic questions, often bridging rigorous theory with real-world policy implementation. Outside academia he is an endurance athlete—swimming, biking, and running—which he says helps sustain long research sprints.
