Robert M. Gonzalez

Associate Professor, School of Economics, Georgia Institute of Technology

I am an applied microeconomist working primarily in development economics. My research examines how information and communication technologies, institutions, and public policies shape economic and social outcomes, particularly in settings affected by conflict, violence, and weak governance. I use geospatial methods, and novel data and empirical approaches to study questions related to crime, political accountability, elections, and public health.

I am a J-PAL Invited Researcher, a Research Affiliate at the Households in Conflict Network (HiCN), and a Faculty Affiliate at Georgia Tech's Institute for People and Technology (IPaT).
