Jeffrey Mo
Class of 2022
Jeffrey Mo is an economist specialising in public policy issues. Originally from Alberta, he has spent the past decade in Europe, including more than six years at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris. There, he produced the first international comparison of the fiscal impact of immigrants and led several reports for the Programme for International Student Assessment, comparing the achievement and wellbeing of 15-year-old students around the globe. He also worked on financial markets and marine plastics pollution. Jeff holds degrees in chemistry and biochemistry from the University of Calgary, chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and econometrics and mathematical economics from the London School of Economics and speaks, to varying degrees of fluency, French, German, Swedish, Cantonese and Mandarin. He plans to write data-driven stories that clearly explain how economics, policy and science interact with local contexts to affect everyday lives, thereby combating disinformation and fostering social cohesion in today’s increasingly divided world.
