David Escamilla-Guerrero

Welcome to my website!
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of St Andrews. I am also a Research Affiliate at the IZA Institute of Labor Economics, the Oxford Centre for Economic and Social History, and the LSE Historical Economic Demography Group.
I received my Ph.D. from the London School of Economics in 2020 and spent a year as a postdoctoral researcher at Pembroke College, University of Oxford.
My research interests are at the intersection of labor economics, economic history, and development economics.
Currently, I am conducting research on the impact of European immigration on agricultural development in Brazil. I am also studying the effect of local minimum wages on women's fertility and motherhood timing in Mexico.
