Daniel Rodriguez-Segura
Before joining the World Bank, I led the research and data analytics team at an organization working across multiple government partnerships. Our work included designing and implementing large-scale impact evaluations, analyzing student learning and operational data, and helping strengthen education data systems to support policy and decision-making.
My academic research has examined policies and interventions to improve foundational learning, including curriculum reform and education technology, as well as teacher policies, school access, and questions related to learning measurement and heterogeneity. My research has been published in journals including the Journal of Development Economics, Economics of Education Review, The World Bank Research Observer, and Education Finance and Policy.
I hold a Ph.D. in Education Policy and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Virginia, and a B.A. in Economics from Washington and Lee University. Originally from Costa Rica, I am based in Washington, D.C.

I am an education economist and a Young Professional at the World Bank, based in the Education and Skills Global Practice, and currently on rotation with the Distributional Impact of Policies team (formerly Poverty and Equity) in Eastern and Southern Africa.
My work focuses on using data and rigorous quantitative research to inform the design and implementation of education policies and programs in low- and middle-income countries, particularly around foundational learning and education technology. This includes impact evaluations, especially randomized evaluations, as well as work on learning measurement and the analysis and use of education data to support decision-making.
