Diego Delgado

I'm a development economist based in Lima, Peru. My work sits at the intersection of financial inclusion and education economics — studying how access to financial tools shapes household welfare, and how early education investments propagate through labor markets.

I'm on the path toward policy-oriented research: I care about generating rigorous evidence that can actually inform decisions, not just academic conversations.

I work as a Research Associate at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), managing randomized evaluations across Latin America. I hold a B.Sc. in Economics from PUCP (2022, first-class honours). Currently working on a paper on transit infrastructure and educational outcomes in Peru.
