M. Socorro Puy 

I am Socorro Puy, Professor of Economics at the University of Málaga. I earned a PhD in Economics from the Quantitative Economics Doctorate at the Universidad de Alicante (1998) and a BA in Economics from the Universidad Pública de Navarra (1993).

My research is in Political Economy and Public Economics. I am particularly interested in how electoral rules, political institutions, and voter characteristics shape party competition, electoral behaviour, and attitudes toward national and supranational governance. My current projects include both formal theoretical work and empirical research based on survey data from national and European public opinion studies.

My work has appeared in journals including Electoral Studies, European Economic Review, European Journal of Political Economy, European Political Science Review, Journal of Theoretical Politics, Public Choice, Social Choice and Welfare, Regional Science and Urban Economics, Journal of Public Economic Theory, and Theory and Decision. 

I have held visiting appointments at several institutions, including Harvard University, the University of Rochester, Université Catholique de Louvain, the University of Copenhagen, Bielefeld University, the University of Namur, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. My teaching includes Microeconomics, Political Economy, and Welfare Economics.
