Muhammad Usman Naeem

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

I am on the 2026–27 economics job market.

My research lies at the intersection of development, environmental, and behavioural economics. I study why households and firms make costly energy and environmental choices, and how policy can improve those choices and their consequences for pollution and welfare. I use field experiments and administrative data from Pakistan.

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