Daniela Horta Saenz

Welcome to my website!

I am a postdoctoral fellow at FAIR Institute at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). I obtained my PhD in Economics from Aix-Marseille School of Economics in Novemeber 2024.

My research interests lie at the intersection of development economics, political economy, and conflict, with a primary focus on South Africa and Colombia. My current research projects examine the legacy of conflict and conflict resolution policies on nation-building and human capital accumulation. I am also keen on studying the cultural and institutional factors that reinforce sexual and gender-based violence in fragile states.
