W. Matthew Alampay Davis
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford where I am affiliated with the Climate Econometrics programme at INET Oxford.My active research empirically studies the relationships between environmental change and social welfare, highlighting their implications for global inequality and development. I also maintain a secondary interest in historical political economy as it pertains to the determination and persistence of social inequalities and deprivations. My work draws from interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations across the social and natural sciences.
I grew up in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I hold a BS from NYU, an MPhil from Oxford, and a PhD in economics from Columbia. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked at Stanford’s Center on Food Security and the Environment as a research associate. In written work, I use “Alampay Davis” as my surname.
