Pol Cosentino

I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the LEDa, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, as part of the research project URBOPP. I recently defended my PhD at the Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. My PhD thesis investigates factors shaping cities and the spatial distribution of economic activities, and creating persistence effects.

I am an applied microeconomist interested in urban economics, economic history, and political economy.

I visited the Spatial Economics Department at VU Amsterdam from January to June 2025, sponsored by Gabriel Loumeau.
