About
Greetings! I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics at the Università degli Studi di Siena. My academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in Economics from the Universidad de Sonora, as well as a dual master's degree in Economic Policies for Global Transition 2.0 (EPOG 2) from the Berlin School of Economics and Law and Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. Additionally, I have completed a one-year specialization program in the History of Economic Thought at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). In conjunction with my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as a research assistant, and I have served as a teacher/professor at both high school and university levels. Furthermore, I have actively contributed to the field through my involvement in policy consulting.
About my research
Throughout my academic journey, my interests have traversed diverse facets of economics, beginning with a focus on the public finance constraints faced by municipalities in Mexico and exploring the intricate backward and forward linkages within the northern region of the country during my bachelor's degree. In my specialization in the history of economic thought, my attention turned towards critical perspectives in political economy, particularly those emanating from Latin America and the global South. This phase of study led me to delve into various intriguing topics, such as the formation and evolution of Latin American Marxian thought, the nuanced comparison between structuralism and dependency theory, and the dynamic cross-fertilization between Latin American structuralism and Keynesian economists, examining both their points of convergence and divergence. During my master's degree, I delved into the political economy of Latin America, engaging in detailed analyses of growth models, and exploring the intricate relationship between growth and distribution. Currently pursuing a PhD, my primary research focus revolves around investigating the macroeconomic exposure and consequential effects of energy transition in developing and emerging market economies. Additionally, my scholarly pursuits extend to the reappraisal of Classical Political Economy and the exploration of the Principle of Effective Demand.
