Nelson Oviedo

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan.

In my research, I use causal inference methods and tools from industrial organization to study education markets. I am particularly interested in the equilibrium effects of quality regulation, information frictions, and technology adoption in higher education. My work has been supported by the Institute for Social Research and the Center for Education of Women+.

I have a B.A. and M.Sc. in Economics from Universidad del Pacifico (Lima, Peru). Prior to graduate school, I was a Research Fellow at the Inter-American Development Bank.

I am on the 2025-26 Job Market.
