Christopher Hoy – Economist

I am World Bank Economist primarily working on fiscal policy and inequality. My research has been published in leading journals, including the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and Economic Development and Cultural Change, featured in top media outlets, such as the New York Times, the Economist and the BBC, and cited over 1800 times.

Prior to joining the World Bank as a Young Professional, I held a position as a Research Fellow (equivalent of an Assistant Professor) at the Australian National University and have worked for a range of organisations, including UNICEF, ADB, ODI, JPAL/IPA and the Australian Government. Collectively, I have experience working in more than 20 countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
