Marcelo Barbosa Ferreira
Marcelo Barbosa Ferreira is a quantitative researcher and Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Princeton University. A Gold Medalist in the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad, he combines elite mathematical training with deep expertise in causal inference, time series analysis, and statistical modeling.
He specializes in processing unstructured, multi-million-row administrative datasets to extract actionable signals and forecast behavioral responses to macro-level shocks. Leveraging a technical toolkit of Python, MATLAB, Julia, and Stata, Marcelo builds quasi-experimental and difference-in-differences models to evaluate the efficiency of large-scale financial flows and structural reforms. His work consistently translates complex econometric data into elegant predictive models and precise strategic insights.
