Overview

Alice Mesnard is a Reader in Economics at City University of London and is Programme Director of the MSc Development Economics. Her main research interests are in the fields of Development Economics, Migration, Policy Evaluations and Applied Microeconomics.

Prior to joining City, she was a Senior Economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies where she worked at the Center for the Evaluation of Development Policies (EdePo).

Currently she has been strongly involved in the policy debate about how to eliminate Human Smuggling. You can watch her on TV5 Monde speaking about pricing the smugglers out of the market : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlvFCWWvMRU

She received her PhD from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris) in 1999 in the "European Doctoral Program in Quantitative Economics.
