hi! i'm paolo adajar.

I'm a fourth-year PhD candidate at MIT in economics, with interests in education, development, market design, and IO. My studies are supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

My interest in education extends beyond research; I enjoy thinking about teaching, pedagogy, and running educational programs. In my spare time, I do too many other things, one of which is writing; you can check out my blog to hear my thoughts and reflections as I go through life.

I made this website to help others know the person behind my CV. In doing so, I hope to bring a bit of humanity and authenticity into the world, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find something that is relevant for your own life.

If you have questions, comments, or thoughts, feel free to say hi!
