Jesus Arellano Gonzalez

Economics Researcher at 

Banco de México

I am an Economics Researcher at Banco de México. I hold a PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Davis. 

My fields of specialization are environmental, development and applied economics. My research seeks to improve the understanding we have about the potential effects of weather shocks and climate change in the agriculture of developing countries by analyzing its effects on productivity, prices and welfare as well as potential avenues of adaptation. My other research touches on topics such as water economics, migration, property rights, poverty and policy evaluation. 

Before Banco de México, I was a public officer at Financiera Nacional de Desarrollo Agropecuario, Rural, Forestal y Pesquero, a federal development bank focused on financing economic activities in the rural sector. I have also been a graduate research assistant at UC Davis and a consultant for the World Bank and the International Food Policy and Research Institute.
