Increasing the Alignment of Global Finance with Nature
Year: 2022
The global economy must
deliver nature-positive, equitable
outcomes if we are to tackle
the existential challenges of
nature loss and climate change.
As nature is not material in most
financial decision-making, there
is significant misalignment of
public and private financial flows
with nature-positive outcomes.
Understanding the current
degree of alignment of global
finance, and identifying actions
needed to increase it is vital.

Greenflation: The cost of the green transition in small open economies
Year: 2022
We propose a new model of a small open economy with efficient energy use to investigate the inflationary dynamics along
the green transition. The model incorporates the production of
green energy that substitutes exogenous brown energy sources
in energy production. Production is characterized by low substitutability between resource and traditional inputs that firms
can alter through directed input-saving technical change.

The Political Economy of Slum Growth: Evidence from Brazil
Year: 2023
This paper provides evidence from
Brazil that local government actions can increase slum growth
without changes in poverty or immigration. Using a regression discontinuity design in close elections, I find that victories
by a center-left, pro-poor party in the 2000 municipal election
strongly increased the share of households living in slums in
2010 compared to 2000.

Consumer Loans, Heterogeneous Interest Rates, and Inequality
Year: 2023
Using the Brazilian administrative credit registry data with the universe of all
consumer loans originated by banks in the country from 2013 to 2019, we document
high borrowing interest rates, which vary systematically with individual’s
characteristics. In particular, even after controlling for several observable
individual attributes (such as income, occupation, and default probabilities,
low-income), individuals pay higher interest rates than high-income borrowers.

ADAPTING TO NATURAL DISASTERS IN AFRICA
Year: 2022
The private sector has an indispensable role to play in advancing climate adaptation and resilience building. The need for private sector solutions to address climate change impacts is even more pronounced in Africa given its sizable needs for adaptation and the limited fiscal space of most African states to adapt and build resilience to climate and disaster risks.
