BIO

My passion for learning and teaching how the economy works and evolves led me to become an intellectual creator. I have made original contributions in economics and mathematical economics.

 

I research in economic modelling with particular regard to innovation as an economic activity, disinflation policies, and decabornization and economic growth. I have published original contributions in the following fields: inflationary expectations formation, reconciliation of profit-seeking innovation and the Invisible Hand of Adam Smith, applied catastrophe theory, and difference between business innovation and social innovation. I am currently focusing on the creative economy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the possibilities and limitations of decarbonization as a driver of economic growth.


I have extensive experience in teaching at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Economics, mathematics for business, and advanced mathematical economics are my broad fields of teaching. In the last five years, I have taught subjects related to the creative economy, mathematics for business, and macroeconomic theory and policy.
