Hi there, and welcome to my website!
I’m Mathieu Bourret Soto, a third-year PhD student at the Bordeaux School of Economics (University of Bordeaux). I study the causes and consequences of conflict in Latin America, with an empirical approach based on political economy and development economics. I’m also interested in how people and communities adapt to climate change, using a more interdisciplinary lens. From March to July 2025, I’m a visiting scholar at NOVAFRICA (Nova SBE) as part of my PhD.
Feel free to check out my work, happy to chat about it anytime!
