About Me
I am Jaime Polanco-Jiménez, a PhD student in Economics at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota, Colombia.
Research Focus
My passion lies in applying rigorous economic analysis to address issues related to human capital accumulation, economics of education, and development economics. Specifically, my current research focuses on analyzing the gender composition, the intervention on infrastructure, and the oil industry’s influence on educational outcomes as measures of academic performance and human capital accumulation, with a particular emphasis on developing countries. I am currently working on a research project that examines how gender composition in classrooms impacts the university’s major choices of female students. I conduct my research dissertation under the expert supervision of Professor Gloria Bernal, Professor Oliver Pardo and Professor Kristof De Witte.
