welcome

Hello, my name is Galileu Kim and I am a Public Sector Specialist at the World Bank. I am a member of the Bureaucracy Lab team at the Development Impact Evaluation (DIME), where I partner with government counterparts to strengthen public administration. I am a research fellow in Brazil’s National School of Administration (ENAP).

My research focuses on the political economy of bureaucracy, with a substantive focus on personnel management, corruption and public service delivery. Methodologically, I combine techniques from data science, causal inference, on-the-ground fieldwork and formal theory to analyze how municipal governments can better serve their citizens.

I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Princeton University, and a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

You can find my research projects and replication files here.
