Davide Viviano is an economist and statistician whose research focuses on the intersection of economics and statistics, particularly in the design and analysis of experiments under network interference. His work explores policy targeting, causal inference, and the application of statistical methods to evaluate social and economic interventions. Viviano's research includes the development of experimental designs for policy evaluation, the use of synthetic controls for program assessment, and the integration of observational and experimental evidence. His publications address challenges in causal inference, treatment effect estimation, and the use of satellite imagery for program evaluation. His research has significant implications for understanding social norms, policy design, and the impact of interventions in complex environments.
