HECTOR MORENO

I'm an applied economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from the Paris School of Economics (PSE). My interests span economic mobility, income distribution, measurement, public economics, and education. I hold two master's degrees in economics, one from PSE (MRes in Quantitative Economics) and another from Barcelona School of Economics (MSc in Economics UPF ). My recent experience includes teaching Statistics at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (SciencesPo Paris) and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle. My empirical work focuses on well-being metrics and the evaluation of public policies, particularly in the fields of development economics, applied economics, impact evaluation, and labor economics.

​

I've served as a Research Officer at the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, and as a research coordinator at the United Nations Development Programme. I have experience as a public official working on poverty measurement for the Mexican government and have consulted for various private, public, and international institutions. Some of my research has been published in book chapters and international academic journals, and I've been honored with national awards in Mexico for my work.

​

I work for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the Statistics and Data Directorate where I co-authored the OECD 2025 Compendium of Productivity Indicators and developed its dashboard visualisation. I have led automation of statistical outputs across three DCD teams: (i) Developed methodology and an online data collection tool for Effective Development Co-operation indicators; (ii) Conducted statistical research for 15+ DAC Peer Reviews using CRS data (Peer Review): (iii) Integrated well-being indicators into
DCD research (Poverty and Inequality).
