Muhammad Usman Naeem

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics and Public Policy at Tufts University and was a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Economics at Harvard University in 2026.

I am on the 2026–27 economics job market.

My research combines development, environmental, and behavioural economics to study pollution and energy in developing economies. I develop new ways to measure hard-to-observe behaviour and use field experiments to understand the constraints shaping individual choices and the effects of public policy.

Previously, I was a Country Economist at the International Growth Centre.
