Short bio (C.V. in pdf)

Javier Aparicio is assistant professor in the Political Studies Division at CIDE, in Mexico City.  He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from George Mason University in 2002 and 2006, respectively. His research interests are mostly concerned with political economy, which lies at the intersection of political institutions, electoral outcomes, and policy choices in Mexico as well as other countries. Some of his recent research topics include:

He has done consulting work for several institutions, such as the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank, IFE, and SEDESOL. Recent courses taught include: microeconomics, political economy, and quantitative methods.  Since his preferred approach is applied econometrics, he regards himself as an empirical political economist.

 

Personal interests (in no particular order)

Movies: adaptations of books I (will) (never) read.
Reading: politics and current events... looking for economic rationales out there...
Music: rock classics… what’s wrong with being hooked on the past?
Travel: old cities and evening walks preferred.
Unsophisticated conversations.
