Mardoqueo Arteaga

PhD Economist

I currently work as Lead Economist in Meta's competitive intelligence organization, where I provide quantitative analysis to inform the company's monetization strategy. Before that, I've held research and analytics roles at LinkedIn, KPMG, and the Central Bank of Chile.

My research interests focus on information economics—particularly how signals form beliefs and shape behavior. I earned a Ph.D. in economics, specialty in belief formation, from Fordham University and a bachelor's degree from Montclair State University. I also write commentary about the economy on The Honest Economist. Lately, I've been working on the Econograph, a visual representation of economists and the history of economic thought.
