Miguel Vázquez-Carrero

PhD candidate in Economics
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

I am an economist studying the macroeconomics of firm dynamics, competition, and resource reallocation. My research examines how these forces shape aggregate productivity and long-run growth. I also conduct impact evaluations using experiments and quasi-experiments.

I will be on the academic job market in 2027–2028.
