Background
Cristina studied Economics at the University of Valencia (a "Licenciatura", which is equivalent to a BSc in UK terms, I think) for 4 years, and in her last year she was an exchange student at the University of Bristol. She earned a ESRC 1+3 in Edinburgh, and so last year she completed the MSc Economics with distinction and right now she is doing the first of the +3 years.
Postgraduate teaching
SGPE Macroeconomics tutor
Research summary
Macroeconomics and Labour, both theoretical an applied. Now Cristina is focusing on understanding the behaviour of Spanish unemployment. She also knows quite a few things about History of Economic Thought, in particular Adam Smith and Keynes.
