Biography



I was born in Vila-real , province of Castellón, on the 12th of June 1965.  I did my primary and secondary school there, and then moved to Valencia to take a degree in Economics at the University of Valencia (1988). After serving in the army at Engineers in Melilla, from September '88 to September '89,  I joined the Department of Economic Analysis holding a scholarship from the Valencian Government. Two years later, in 1991, I was admitted in the doctoral courses at Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. I obtained a Master of  Arts in Industrial Organization from the Université catholique de Louvain. Under the auspices of the European Doctoral Programme (EDP) I spent an advanced year at the London School of Economics, and joined the Economics of Industry Group under the supervision of professors Patrick Bolton and John Sutton. Then I went back to C.O.R.E. and obtained my Ph. D. in Quantitative Economics, in October 1995. My stay was financed through a scholarship from the Bank of Spain. My thesis supervisor was professor Claude d'Aspremont. I have belonged to the Department of Economic Analysis at the University of Valencia since December '94 as an assistant professor, then as   Profesor Titular de Universidad, and from November 2017 I am Catedrático de Universidad.
