Biography
JUSTINO, Patricia MSc (Cantab) PhD (London)
Patricia Justino is a Research Fellow at the Economics Department and the Poverty Research Unit (www.sussex.ac.uk/Units/PRU). She has recently been awarded a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship by the British Academy. Patricia Justino's current research interests lie in the analysis of non-income dimensions of inequality in developing countries. This project (as part of the British Academy fellowship) seeks to construct an operational concept of social inequality that can be used for inter-regional and inter-country analytical comparisons and develop a methodology for the measurement of social inequality and its effects on economic reform programmes in developing countries. Patricia Justino has worked extensively on the analysis and measurement of economic, social and political inequalities and their effects on economic growth and political instability in India and is currently Project Leader of a DFID Consultancy Contract on Inequality in Latin America. She also has been involved in a DFID-funded research project on the effects of trade reform on household poverty dynamics in Vietnam.
In previous years she has taught the workshops on Mathematics for the BA in Economics and currently lectures the Economics undergraduate course in Statistics.
