José-Antonio Espin-Sanchez

Associate Professor of Economics, Department of Economics

I am an Economic Historian with interest in Economic Theory and Industrial Organization. I received a PhD in Economics at Northwestern University in 2014. My thesis was centered on traditional irrigation communities in Murcia, Spain. I am interested in water allocation and agricultural communities. My most recent work studies historical inequality and social mobility, in both sides of the Atlantic. Our project Bridging the Atlantic aims at creating a comprehensive database of all migrants that crossed the Atlantic from Europe and Africa to the New World, from Columbus to today.
