Hi there, welcome!

My name is Eyayaw Beze, and I completed my Ph.D. in Urban/Regional Economics, focusing on housing supply and the empirical application of the monocentric city model (also known as the Alonso, Mills, and Muth model). Additionally, I am highly interested in data science with R and Python.

Short bio

I grew up in a small village called Shumshuha [ሹምሹሃ] (aka Lalibela Airport) about 10km southwest of the historic town Lalibela, Ethiopia.

I went to Bahir Dar University for my undergrad, for my master’s to KDI School in South Korea, and to Budapest, Regensburg and Trento for a joint European master in comparative local development (Master CoDe).

For more than three years, I worked for Jimma University, department of Economics, where I taught undergrad economics courses.

I completed my Ph.D. in Urban Economics at RGS Econ, based at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
