W. Matthew Alampay Davis
I am a political economist working at the intersection of environmental, development, and welfare economics. My approach to these broad subjects is distinguished by an emphasis on inequalities in the social impacts of anthropogenic climate change.I’m originally from Manila but grew up mostly in Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City. I have since lived in New York, London, Shanghai, the Bay Area, and Oxford. I received a PhD in economics from Columbia in 2025, an MPhil from Oxford, and a bachelor’s from NYU.
