Greg Fischer is a Lecturer in Economics at LSE. His research focuses on combining economic theory, field experiments, and more traditional empirical analysis to understand how economic development works and how it can work better, a large portion of which is coordinated through Innovations for Poverty Action and the MIT Jameel Poverty Action Lab. Prior to returning to academia, he worked for nine years in the private equity and venture capital arms of Morgan Stanley and Centre Partners, an affiliate of Lazard. His current work includes the randomized evaluations of a business training program in the Dominican Republic and the pricing of new water treatment technology in Ghana.
