Simon Heß

I hold a PhD from Goethe University and study research questions in the context of low-income countries, using data on social and economic networks and remote sensing data. My research focuses on adapting and applying experimental methods to assess the impact of anti-poverty interventions on social structures and the environment. I am especially interested in how interventions affect inter-household networks, and how such networks mediate the effects of interventions on economic outcomes.
