Welcome to my website!NEWS: The Call for Papers for the 17th Australasian Trade Workshop (ATW17), hosted at The University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand from 16-17 March 2024, is online here.
I am a trade economist and am currently on a María Zambrano research fellowship for the attraction of international talent (Programa María Zambrano para la atracción de talento internacional, financial support from Ministerio de Universidades, Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, contract MAZ/2021/04(UP2021-021)) financed by the European Union – NextGenerationEU in the Department of Economics at Universitat Jaume I, Castelló de la Plana, Spain. I am also affiliated with the School of Economics and Public Policy at the University of Adelaide, a CESifo Fellow, and a member of the Joint Research Unit in Economic Integration UV-UJI. My research investigates firms' export behavior using administrative firm-level data from China and Spain. I also develop new quantitative trade models to quantify the welfare, trade, and competition effects of the European Union and trade agreements such as the proposed transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP). I have also developed an econometric method to identify the effects of non-discriminatory trade policies such as MFN tariffs. In recent years, I have started research on trade-related aspects of biodiversity conservation. I am an Associate Editor at Applied Economic Analysis (formerly Revista de Economía Aplicada), the journal of the Spanish Asociación Libre de Economía (ALdE). Jointly with Frank Stähler and Onur Koska, I coordinate the Australasian Trade Workshop (ATW). You can find more info about ATW here. My latest paper in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management on international environmental agreements, international wildlife trade policy and the decline of wildlife available here. My latest paper in Economic Modelling on the competition effects of the European Single Market available here. "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do."

As a PhD student, I was a researcher at the Center for International Economics at the Ifo Institute – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich and at the Chair of Empirical Economics at the University of Bayreuth.
