About me

I joined the University of Oviedo in December 2020 as Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics and as a member of the REGIOlab research group. Previously I was a Research Fellow in Economic Modelling at City-REDI in the University of Birmingham (UK) from July 2018 to November 2020, where I worked in developing a Multirregional Socio-Economic Impact Model for the UK (SEIM-UK).

I did my PhD in Economics in July 2014 (Cum Laude and International mention) obtaining also the PhD dissertation Award in Economics and Business by the University of Santiago de Compostela for the thesis titled “Tourism and income distribution: General equilibrium models applied to the Galician economy”. After that I got an individual research fellowship from the Galician Regional Government (Xunta de Galicia) starting in May 2015 until April 2018 for developing the project titled “Youth Unemployment in Europe: its structural causes and its macroeconomic consequences”.

I have been a Postdoctoral Visiting Scholar at the Regional Economics Application Laboratory (REAL) of the University of Illinois (USA) for 12 months between 2015 and 2016, followed by another year at the Global Economics and Management Department of the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) between 2016 and 2017. Before, I also was a Predoctoral Visiting Scholar for 3 months at the Università degli Studi di Salerno (Italy) in the Dipartamento di Scienze Economiche e Statistiche in 2012.

My lines of research are in the intersection of different fields like Economic Modelling, Regional Economics, Income Inequality and Multisectoral Analysis. Particularly, I have worked with economy-wide models such as Input-Output, Social Accounting Matrices and Computable General Equilibrium Models. Some of the topics I studied during the last years deal with the spatial distribution of income and interregional disparities, and some methodological advances in the field of multisectoral macroeconomic modelling.
