I am (tenured) Assistant Professor (Profesor Permanente Laboral) in the Department of Economics at the University of Oviedo.

I am the seminar coordinator of the Oviedo Economics Seminar and the Oviedo Efficiency Group of the Department of Economics at the University of Oviedo. I also collaborate with the Sistema de Información Turística de Asturias as a Research Associate and I am regular collaborator (Colaborador Habitual) of the Spanish blog Nada es Gratis.

My main line of research is tourism economics. I am interested in the analysis of consumer preferences over tourism services from a microeconomic viewpoint. Also, I am involved in the study of the economic contribution of the tourism sector to regional economies.

My other research interests include household economics, behavioral economics, and the analysis of efficiency and productivity. Nonetheless, I have been involved in different topics and projects.

I am member of the Editorial Board of Annals of Tourism Research and Tourism Economics.  

I am also member of the Network of Emerging Scholars for Tourism and Hospitality (NEST), leaded by Florian Kock, Alexander Josiassen and Astrid Noerfelt from Copenhagen Business School.

In February 2024, I will be visiting professor in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of the Balearic Islands. 

Short Background
