Abdulrazzak Tamim is a PhD candidate in Economics at UC Berkeley, where he researches policy-relevant challenges in developing economies using empirical methods grounded in economic theory. His work leverages granular datasets—including satellite data and administrative records—to study scarce resource allocation, agricultural productivity, and the welfare effects of social policies such as housing subsidies. Prior to Berkeley, he earned a master’s in Agricultural Economics from McGill University and a bachelor’s in Economics (with Distinction) from the American University of Beirut. He also served as a consultant at the World Bank, contributing to policies focused on forcibly displaced populations in Kenya and Jordan.
