Mardoqueo Arteaga is an economist currently working at LinkedIn, where he provides marketing science and insights support to major enterprise clients. The work relies on LinkedIn's unique data and POV to tell stories with data and conduct Sales research with econometrics. He is also a contributor for The Honest Economist, where he primarily writes about the effects of AI on the economy, macroeconomic trends, and labor market dynamics.
Before joining LinkedIn, he was on the Economic and Statistical Consulting group at KPMG, where he served as a project lead to clients in healthcare, telecommunications, state agencies, financial services, and transfer pricing. His work spanned causal inference problems, probabilistic simulation for complex assets, and research on policy impact evaluation.
Mardoqueo received his PhD in Economics, specialty in belief formation, from Fordham University and previously worked as a visiting associate researcher at the Central Bank of Chile.
His research focuses on information economics—particularly how signals form beliefs and shape behavior. This encompasses work on credit market expectations, monetary policy communication, and household sentiment analysis using machine learning and econometric techniques.
Outside of work, his main intellectual interests are in creative writing, category theory, history of economic thought, and philosophy (phenomenology and stoicism). He is also passionate about animal rescue, cultural travel, musical theater, fitness, and open-world games. He is currently working on a series of short stories and longer novella.
