Capucine Riom
Hi! I am an Economist (YP) at the World Bank. I completed my PhD in urban and environmental economics at the London School of Economics (LSE) in December 2024. I am affiliated with the LSE's Programme for Innovation and Diffusion (POID) and the LSE's Grantham Research Institute focusing on the impact of Net Zero policies on workers.
During my PhD, I taught spatial data analysis using satellite data (GY476) and Environment and Development (GY329) at the LSE. I was the convenor for the quantitative spatial model PhD reading group in 2023/2024.
I was a consultant for the World Bank's Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and was awarded the World Bank Sustainable Development Fellowship in 2022. Before my PhD, I worked 5 years in economic research and policy impact evaluation at the LSE's Centre for Economic Performance and the What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth. In that time I was also a consultant for the OECD, the Greater London Authority and the private sector.
