Welcome! I am a microeconomist who works on topics in economic theory with applications to political economy, innovation policy, and organizations.I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the Market Shaping Accelerator, a joint initiative between the Center for Global Development, UChicago, and Dartmouth. I received my PhD in Economics from Princeton in May 2025.I am broadly interested in how policy choices generate information in political, organizational, and market settings; and how career concerns or firms' reputational incentives influence these choices. My research also touches on topics in productivity growth and economic history.My research with MSA focuses on the theoretical design of public policies that promote socially-beneficial innovation in areas of climate and public health. Additionally, I work with nonprofit and government partners to inform the practical implementation of these policies.You can find my CV here.I can be reached at:hsayed (at) cgdev.org
