Biography
I am a researcher and Associate Professor of Economics at The University of Exeter, and The University of Chile. My research focuses on maternal and child health, and family fertility decisions. In particular my papers examine the impact of public programs on maternal mortality and morbidity, early life health outcomes for children, and the determinants of parental investment in children. I am also interested in applied microeconometrics and computation.
I have a new textbook out in 2026 on Applied Microeconometric Methods. If you are interested in the details of this textbook, please see the online accompanying page with much relevant code and data (https://www.damianclarke.net/books/microeconometrics/) and the publisher's website for links if you are interested in a copy (https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262053648/applied-microeconometrics/).
