After finishing my studies in Economics at the Universidad de Salamanca in 2002, I spent one year doing a Mater in Economic Sciences at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). It was there and then that I decided to orientate my professional life to the academic world. In 2005, I was awarded a Ph.D scholarship by the Spanish Government. In 2009 I finished my Ph.D in Economics at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The dissertation title was “A General Equilibrium Assessment of the Rebound Effect”.

My research interests are: Energy and Environmental Economics, Fiscal Policies Analysis, Regional Economics, General Equilibrium Models, Interindustrial Analysis and Computational Economics.

 
I have also held a visiting research post at the Fraser  of Allander Institute (Strathclyde University, in Glasgow, UK) from September to December 2008 collaborating actively in some of their projects, especially the ESCR project on Energy Rebound Effects in the UK (ref: RES-061025-0010, project Director: Prof. Karen Turner), working with UK data and exchanging research experiences. In June 2011 I visited the School of Panning and Public Policy at Rutgers University invited by Prof. Michael Lahr.  For this  academic  course  (2014-2015), I will visit the Department of Global Economics and Management at Gröningen University (The Netherlands).

 
After visiting the department of Economics of the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Seville, Spain) from 2010-2011, I am now an Assistant Professor at the Universidad de Granada at the Department of International Economics, in Spain. I am a member of the Research Group in Computation and Simulation at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Since 2011, I am a member of the Editorial Board of the Review of Regional Studies.
