Teaching
Currently I teach the following
subjects at the University of Granada:
- Economics: BA in Statistics, 1st course, 1st term
- Economics for Business: BA in Architecture, 1st course, 2nd term
Previously I taught the subjects
Macroeconomics I, Political Economics and
Macroeconomics II at the University of
Granada and led seminars in Macroeconomics and Applied Economics at the

Studies
In 2007 I obtained my PhD in
Economics at the University of York (England) with the thesis entitled "Decentralisation
and its impact on health and equity in health: some theoretical
considerations and applications to Canada".
My thesis was supervised by Prof. Peter C. Smith (Centre for Health
Economics, University of
York) and approved by Prof. Nigel Rice (Centre for
Health
Economics, University of York) and Juan Cabasés Hita (Public
University of Navarre) on the 6th of june of 2006. In my thesis I
analysed, both theoretically and empirically, the consequences for
population health and equity in health of devolving health policy
making to local government levels.
As a pre-requisite for the PhD, I got an MSc in Public Economics in the academic year 2001/2002, specialising in Health Economics. In the same academic year I also obtained an MPhil in Economics by the University of Granada with the dissertation entitled "Risk-adjusted capitations for financing health services: an application to the primary health care districts in Andalusia", supervised by Prof. José Martín Martín (University of Granada). Before these studies, I obtained a BA in Economics by the University of Granada.
