Natassia Nascimento

Hello! My name is Natassia, I’m an economist specialising in inequality, economic development, sustainability, and applied policy research.
My work combines academic rigour with practical, real-world impact — developed through projects with the World Bank Group, the International Labour Organization, Progressive Economics Forum, and UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.

I am currently based in London and teach at the Paris Dauphine London Campus while collaborating on applied economic research internationally.

I translate complex economic evidence into clear, actionable insights for policy teams, organisations, and diverse audiences. My background includes data analysis, report writing, economic modelling, policy evaluation, project coordination, and teaching across universities and research institutions.

Academic & Research Background

I have a Phd in Economics from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), with research focused on taxation and inequality. My academic work explores income and wealth concentration, the political economy of social policy, development and sustainability.

I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence and diversity, bringing multicultural and interdisciplinary perspectives to research and teaching.
