Santiago Lopez-Cantor

I am a teaching and research fellow (ATER) at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics (Aix-Marseille University).

I am a microeconomic theorist working at the intersection of public economics and political economy.

My primary research interests are the interactions between public policies and inequalities, mediated by moral concerns and behavioral biases.

I hold a PhD from Aix-Marseille School of Economics, supervised by Renaud Bourlès (Centrale Mediterranée) and Alain Trannoy (EHESS, AMSE). I visited the Hoover Chair of Social and Economic Ethics at UCLouvain, and the Chair of Microeconomic Theory at Konstanz University.
