Dr Paul Segal

Biography

Paul Segal completed his DPhil at Nuffield College, Oxford, in 2006 and has been at Sussex since August 2010. He has been a Research Fellow at Harvard University, a Consultant Economist at the United Nations Development Programme, and a Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, where he continues as a Visiting Senior Research Fellow.

My research follows two themes: global inequality and poverty, and the economics of resource-rich countries. The two themes overlap in my work on the distribution of resource revenues and their role in poverty reduction.
