Rachael Meager is an Australian economist and statistician.[2] They[3] currently hold an Associate Professorship at the University of New South Wales.[2] Previously, Meager was an Assistant Professor at the London School of Economics, within the STICERD (Suntory and Toyota International Centres for Economics and Related Disciplines) research centre.[4]
Meager has significantly contributed to the development of advanced statistical methods in economics. They have advanced the application of Bayesian Analysis for Randomized Controlled Trial data, for instance investigating robustness effects against treatment heterogeneity by considering the impact of leaving out small fractions of the data.[5] They apply these techniques to development topics such as the impact of microcredit on economic growth and inequality.[6]
