Carlos Chiapa (Ph.D., 2008, Boston University) is interested in applied microeconomics, development economics, and program evaluation. Most of his research has focused on studying the Mexican antipoverty program PROGRESA/Oportunidades. His current research focuses the effects of sex-imbalances caused by migration from Mexico to the U.S. on crime in Mexico; the effects of giving access to savings accounts to beneficiaries of antipoverty programs; and testing the schooling repayment hypothesis for private transfers. In 2010, he was awarded Mexico's National Víctor L. Urquidi and Banamex Prizes in Economics for his research on aspirations.
