Economist

Diego González González

PhD Candidate in Economics, Universidad Loyola Andalucía

I am an economist based in Spain. My work sits at the intersection of applied microeconomics, labor markets, public policy evaluation, food systems, and reproducible empirical research. I am especially interested in using careful data work, econometric methods, and transparent computational workflows to produce evidence for policy-makers.

I am a Junior Analyst in the Public Spending Evaluation Division at AIReF, where I work on evaluations of temporary disability and unemployment protection, administrative data pipelines, and interactive analytical tools. I am also a Data Replicator for the Journal of Political Economy.

Alongside these roles, I consult for the OECD Trade and Agriculture Directorate on food systems policy evaluation, interactive resources for policy-makers, and practical AI training. My earlier OECD work covered sustainable food choices and food loss and waste, including scenario analysis using Aglink-Cosimo. I previously worked as a Research Assistant at the Bank of Spain, an Applied Economist at Pareto.AI, and a Data Replicator for The Economic Journal and The Econometrics Journal.
