Fabrice Murtin has been an economist at OECD (ECO department) since June 2008. He was previously a post-doctorate at Stanford University and holds a PhD from Paris School of Economics.

As a TOM member, he has been invited by Gianni Toniolo to Tor Vergata University for some months in 2007 in order to conduct some historical research on mass migrations to the US 1870-1930, focusing on their impact on average educational attainment.

Fabrice is specialized in the economics of education; he has constructed a global database on education since 1870, and used it in order to analyze some relevant historical correlations over the long term - education and growth, education and the demographic transition, education and income inequality, education and democratization."
