Juan Duran

Welcome to my website!

I am an applied economist mainly interested in the fields of Labor, Regional, Development, and International Economics. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) in the area of Trade, Competitiveness, and Foreign Direct Investment.

My Job Market paper studies the local effects of trade liberalization on college wage premia, housing costs, and urban amenities in Mexico between 1990 and 2010.

I joined ESRI after completing my PhD in Economics at Trinity College Dublin. I received my Master’s in Economics from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL).
