Biography
Biography Ericka
G. Rascon Ramirez is an Associate Professor in Development Economics at
Middlesex University London. Prior to becoming an academic, she worked for the
World Bank Group in Washington DC and for the Ministry of Social Development in
Mexico. Ericka designs interventions using economic and social psychology
theories, and evaluates them using advanced statistical methods. Her primary
focus is on answering policy relevant questions on child development and young
people’s behaviour. She has led, designed, and evaluated interventions in the
field using randomised control trials that aim to improve children’s outcomes
(schooling and learning in Nigeria) and young people’s behaviour (early
childbearing and risky sexual behaviour in Malawi; usage of mobile banking in
Peru). Ericka also works with political scientists and economists on the design
and evaluation of online experiments that aim to improve civic education
(Tunisia, Turkey and other countries), sexual awareness (Nigeria), gender gaps
in the labour market (Spain and UK) and in prosocial behaviour (US). She has
also led and designed various lab-in-the-field experiments to improve
measurements of risk aversion, social norms, and expectations (Honduras,
Nigeria, Spain). Her recent work has been published in the International
Journal of Forecasting, Economics Letters, Judgement and Decision
Making, the American Journal of
Political Science and the Journal of
Economic Psychology.
