Sérgio Nascimento is a PhD economist at Northwestern with nine years of hands-on experience blending macroeconomics, labor, and finance research with industry data work. He has supported leading academics (Atif Mian, Jón Steinsson, Emi Nakamura) on macro and finance projects, bringing Bayesian inference, STATA mapping, and large-scale data engineering to policy-relevant questions. His internships at Stone and Charles River Associates translated analytical insight into measurable financial gains and litigation-grade analyses of terabyte-scale datasets. A Fundação Estudar Fellow chosen from over 70,000 applicants, he combines rigorous academic training with practical product and process improvements across finance and operations. Based in São Paulo, Sérgio pairs an easygoing personal style with a talent for turning complex data into clear, actionable stories for non-technical stakeholders. Notably, his background spans both high-frequency industry transaction analysis and advanced empirical macro methods, positioning him to bridge academia and applied finance.
