Kevin Arbizu Berrocal

I am a PhD Candidate at The School of Global Development. My research is focused on evaluating the socio-economic impacts of the mining industry on welfare in Peru. This research has a quantitative approach, using long-term data and causal inference methods.

My main research interests are in the fields of extractive industries, impact evaluation, ESG, stakeholder engagement and the economic valuation of environmental impacts.  

I have worked as an Associate Tutor for the module Qualitative Research Analysis (DEV-7036B) at UEA. I have also collaborated with peer review activities for the Journal of Development Studies Research. I have also worked as an Associate Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University and more recently as a Module Tutor at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) - University of Sussex, and as a Guest Teacher at the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). 

I have previously worked as a socioeconomic consultant in the mining, oil, and gas sectors in Peru, Kenya and the UK. My experience includes conducting extensive fieldwork and developing key reports such as socioeconomic baselines, socioeconomic impact assessments, cost-benefit analyses, ecosystem services baselines, among others.
