My research fields are International, Spatial, Macroeconomics and Financial Regulation.

I focus my research mainly on analyzing economic interactions over space, identifying and quantifying their driving forces, and deriving policy implications. I use both quantitative (international trade and macroeconomic) models and empirical (micro-econometrics and time series) methods.
