Ursula Mello

Welcome to my website!

I am an applied economist interested in Education, Labor and Public Policy.

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Insper - Institute of Education and Research, a Research Affiliate at the IAE-CSIC and IZA, and an Invited Researcher at J-PAL.  

In my research, I use applied microeconometrics methods to investigate key issues for Education and Labor Market policies. 

Outside of my paid work, I love spending time with my loved ones, practicing sports, and studying Logosophy. 

I am on maternity leave until early May 2025.
