Welcome to my personal site! I am Daniel Pérez-Parra, a second-year PhD student in Economics at the Université Gustave Eiffel & the Université de Tours supervised by Marine de Talancé (Univ. Gustave Eiffel - ÉRUDITE) and Catherine Bros (Univ. de Tours - LÉO).

I am part of the ÉRUDITE and LÉO research units and a part-time researcher under the supervision of Noam Angrist (University of Oxford) at What Works Hub for Global Education - Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.

My thesis explores the influence of public policies on harmful societal norms surrounding marriage, specifically addressing issues such as polygamy, child marriage, and female genital cutting in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, I am investigating the repercussions of education policies on the well-being of women and children.


Research interests: Development Economics, Applied Microeconomics, Impact Evaluation, Harmful Social Norms, Economics of Education, and Economics of Crime.
