Alexandre Grellet

After 2 years spent working for the Innovation, Data and Experiments in Education (IDEE) program at J-PAL Europe, I am now a PhD student at the Department of Economics, Sciences Po, under the supervision of Clément de Chaisemartin and Carlo Barone. I am working on the evaluation of education policies, mostly in France. But I am open to doing research in development economics, and labor economics. I also enjoy keeping up-to-date with state of the art econometrics.

I am author of the IDEE power calculator.
