Gabriel Granato

Ph.D. student in Business and Public Policy
Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley

My research lies at the intersection of development economics, political economy, and organizational economics. I study the political economy of development, with an emphasis on the organizational foundations of informal institutions: the local arrangements through which communities solve collective-action problems where formal state capacity is limited.

Before Berkeley, I earned an M.Sc. in Economics from PUC-Rio and a B.A. in Economics from IBMEC.
