Sebastian Garcia-Torres
I am a graduate student in economics at Freie Universität Berlin. I currently work as a research assistant at the Economics Department of the John.-F.-Kennedy Institute at Freie Universität Berlin.
Starting in September 2025, I’ll be a Predoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for International Development at the Harvard Kennedy School.
My research interests are in political economy, economic history and gender economics.
Feel free to contact me via email :)
