João Pedro Figueira Amorim Parga

My passion is to use quantitative analysis, spatial modeling, and Geographic Information Systems to help cities build just transportation systems, addressing distributive justice and equity issues in urban areas. For my PhD, I am working on using causal inference methods to estimate transportation policies' impacts on people's satisfaction with their activity participation and on measures of distributive justice on transportation.
