Tim Deisemann is an Associate Economist at the EBRD Office of the Chief Economist.
Prior to this, he worked at McKinsey & Company as a Senior Analyst focused on the Net Zero transition, impacts of climate change, and economic development. As part of EBRD's Research Division, Tim conducts academic research, contributes to the Bank’s knowledge products and develops new machine learning capabilities.
Tim holds an MSc in Economics for Development from the University of Oxford. His research interests lie at the intersection of structural transformation, development and the environment. His latest paper contributes to understanding the agricultural productivity gap in Sub-Saharan Africa. It uncovers how inaccurate beliefs about the quality of seeds as agricultural inputs can result in sub-optimal fertilizer application and documents precisely this pattern using novel data from Ethiopia.
