Economist

"Economics must not be relegated to classrooms and statistical offices and must not be left to esoteric circles. It is the philosophy of human life and action and concerns everybody and everything. It is the pith of civilization and of man's human existence."

— Ludwig von Mises

About

I am an economist specialised in public finance and labour economics, with a particular interest in economic policy. I am Associate Professor at Universidad Loyola Andalucía and a Research Fellow at Tax Foundation Europe.

I was ranked among the top 200 young economists worldwide by RePec in 2024 and am currently in the top 3% of economists worldwide (publications last 10 years). Previously, I worked for the European Commission at the Joint Research Centre and DG ECFIN, and at the Austrian think tank Agenda Austria.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Vienna University of Economics and Business. I write and speak in German, English, and Spanish.
