Welcome!
I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute. My interests are development economics, political economy, and economic history. My research aims to expand our understanding of how long-standing institutional and cultural factors shape economic behavior and access to opportunities in low-income settings.
In September 2026, I will join the University of Sydney as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and will be affiliated with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Children and Families Over the Life Course.
I graduated from the University of Amsterdam with an MSc in Economics in 2017 and the Autonomous University of Madrid with a BSc in Economics in 2015.
I am originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Prior to 2023, I published under my full name, Orlando Zambrano Roman.
Here is my CV.
