Brais Alvarez Pereira

My research is on Development and Experimental Economics. I use informational interventions to address cognitive biases and misinformation. I am currently working with agents across the cashew supply chain in Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique and evaluating the impact of promoting collaboration between traditional healers and the formal health sector. I am the founding executive director of the Bissau Economics Lab, and a resident researcher and country director for NOVAFRICA Guinea-Bissau.
