Research interests

My research areas of interest revolve around some core ideas, always with a strong mathematical/computational approach:

1. Economic behaviour of individuals when they must decide on their main resources and its uses and consequences.

   • Time use: time is regarded as a major economic resource at our disposal, not sufficiently highlighted in economics.

   • Wellbeing.

   • Consumer behaviour.

   • Other puzzling behavioral economic issues which challenge economic theory are always of my interest.

2. Economic Analysis using Artificial Intelligence. 

3. New thinking in economics at a macro level.

   • Current facts at a macro level clearly suggest something is not good enough at the macroeconomic level of thought. Any new idea with new approaches is a welcome challenge. 

   • Wellbeing: WELLBY

4. Environmental, Development and Resource Economics for the sake of sutainability.

   • Valuation of Externalities to foster more accurate economic analysis and decisions concerning the Environment and our Sustainability.

Thus, I can define my research topics / fields of interest, ranked in order of importance in my current research:

1. Allocation of Time.

   • Theoretical models

   • Lifestyle Dynamics. 

   • Its relation to Wellbeing.

2. Consumer Behaviour and Behavioral Economics (particularly choice overload).

3. Economic Analysis and Artificial Intelligence.

4. Both:

   • Economic Theory (both at a micro and macro level).

   • Sustainable management of natural resources (particularly valuation of externalities, but also climate change adaptation, development economics).
