Juan Duran

Welcome to my website!

I am an applied economist mainly interested in the fields of International, Labor, and Regional 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.

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).

My current research focuses on how AI adoption, digitalisation and exposure to international shocks influence firm performance, labour markets, and regional economic dynamics.
