Guilherme Lambais
I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellow developing the REGROWTH project “How a Nation is Born: Reconstructing Four Centuries of Brazilian Economic Growth.”
I have a doctoral degree in economics from the University of Brasilia, with a one-year period as visiting scholar (with class credit) at Harvard University.
Previous to ICS, I was a research affiliate at the University of Brasilia’s Department of Economics and an advisor at the Research Department of the Federal Labor Prosecution Office (MPT) in Brazil and at SmartLab, a joint initiative of the MPT with the International Labor Organization.
I’m interested in economic history, political economy, and economic development.
Selected publications:
Judicial Subversion: The Effects of Political Power on Court Outcomes. Journal of Public Economics, 217 (2023). (with Henrik Sigstad).
Education for Control and Liberation in Africa and Among the Black Diaspora. Comparative Education Review, forthcoming. (with Dozie Okoye, Shourya Sen, and Leonard Wantchekon).
