Raúl Sanchez de la Sierra

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy and NBER faculty research fellow (DEV/PE). My research agenda is in political economy, development economics, and culture and economics. I also use tools of moral psychology to study violence motivations. Most of my fieldwork is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the last few years, I co-taught PhD-level Political Economy of Development with Eduardo Montero, Economics, Politics, and African Societies with James Robinson, and a Master-level Power and Development.
