Marine Colon de Franciosi is a Pre-Doctoral Fellow at the Climate Impact Lab (CIL) within the Energy Policy Institute at Chicago (EPIC), working with Professor Ashwin Rode and other affiliated researchers at CIL. She holds a BA in Economics from McGill University and an MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. Prior to joining CIL, she worked at the World Bank on a range of impact evaluations, including social protection projects in the Sahel that aimed to strengthen household resilience to climate shocks. This experience deepened her interest in pursuing research on the broad impacts of climate change, both market and non-market, and in the role of adaptation in fostering resilience. In her free time, she enjoys reading, running and biking along Lake Michigan, and exploring Chicago.
“Joining EPIC and the Climate Impact Lab is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge work on climate change and economic research. The program offers a unique chance to immerse myself in seminars and research projects at the frontier of these fields, while learning directly from faculty and peers. I see this as an opportunity to strengthen my skills and grow as a researcher while contributing to work that can inform policy in meaningful ways.”
