About Me
Mahounan Yedomiffi
Provost Faculty Fellow and Assistant Professor in Economics
Dartmouth College
I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am currently a Provost Faculty Fellow at Dartmouth College, and I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in 2026. Additionally, I am a visiting scholar at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University from July to December this year.
My research interests lie in development economics, education, and labor.
I am a first-generation literate, born in a rural area without access to hospitals, electricity, or running water. Much of my research is inspired by my own life experiences and the challenges I witnessed growing up. Countless young people are currently facing the same obstacles I did. Through my research, I strive to answer the question: How can I improve the lives of the millions of “young-me” out there?

Data-Driven Creativity
Data-driven creativity blends analytical insights with innovative thinking to craft solutions that are both effective and impactful. By leveraging data, I ensure that creative decisions are informed, strategic, and aligned with real-world outcomes, leading to more targeted and meaningful results.
