Yannick Markhof is a PhD fellow at the United Nations University (UNU-MERIT) and a team member at the Living Standards Measurement unit (LSMS) of the World Bank.
Previously, Yannick Markhof worked for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). In his research, he collects and uses survey microdata as well as large administrative datasets to investigate questions centering around economic shocks to vulnerable populations and public finance in low- and middle-income countries. Often, these projects use field or methodological experiments and aim to provide new evidence on hard-to-measure but policy-relevant issues. He holds a postgraduate degree with distinction in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. You can find his CV with an overview of the projects he is currently working on below.
