Dr Jaime Simoes Duarte Marques Pereira
Lecturer in Economics and Data ScienceResearch Interests
In my research, I take advantage of text analysis, computer vision and computer audition techniques to study how different types of media coverage affect voters' and politicians' behaviors.
Profile
I have completed a Ph.D. in Economics at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy) under the supervision of prof. Guido Tabellini, prof. Eliana La Ferrara and prof. Carlo Schwarz in January 2023. I also hold a M.Sc. in Economics from the Nova School of Business and Economics (Lisbon, Portugal) since 2016.
PhD Supervision Interests
I am open to supervising Ph.D. students who are interested in applying natural language processing and machine learning techniques to address different microeconomics questions. I am particularly keen on overseeing research projects in the field of political and media economics. Specifically, I am interested in projects studying the dynamic relationship between media and politics and its impact on different political and economic outcomes, such as voting decisions, consumption, investment decisions, and more.
