Alfonso Rosa García

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economic Analysis and Vice-Dean for Infrastructure, Knowledge Transfer, Graduate Studies, and Educational Innovation at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Murcia. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Alicante in 2012, under the supervision of Coralio Ballester.

My research is in experimental and behavioral economics and social networks, with particular attention to bank runs and coordination problems. I also work on innovation in economics teaching, including the use of artificial intelligence, and have given several talks and training workshops on AI in academia (materials in Spanish).

I also enjoy the way academic collaboration often turns coauthors into friends, and friends into coauthors. You can explore my coauthor network here.

Teaching

I teach Introduction to Economics and Microeconomics in the Bachelor's in Business Administration and Experimental Design in the PhD program.

I have recorded around 140 teaching videos on Microeconomics, a complete course in Spanish, which have accumulated more than 4,000,000 views on YouTube. More information on my teaching here.

Training on generative AI (2024–2026): workshops for the departments of Economic Analysis, of Applied Economics and of Business Organization and Finance, the Faculty’s teaching-innovation workshop, and cross-programme sessions for master’s students. All materials (in Spanish).
