A theory and applied econometrician working as a Professor in the Department of Economics at Universidad EAFIT (Medellín, Colombia). He got a Ph.D. in statistical science, two masters’ degrees, one in finance and another in economics, and a bachelor’s degree in Economics. In addition, he was a research fellow at the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), and a visiting professor in the Department of Economics at Melbourne University. Having completed his Ph.D. degree, much of his theory research has been in the area of Bayesian Econometrics with applications in finance, utilities, health, crime and sports. His work has been published (or is forthcoming) in the Econometric Reviews, Journal of Applied Econometrics, R Journal, Spatial Economic Analysis, Economic Inquiry, World Development, International Journal of Forecasting, Journal of Sport Economics, Empirical Economics, Economic Modeling and other highly regarded international research outlets. Andrés has also led projects for multilateral institutions, public agencies and industry such as Inter-American Development Bank, the Colombian energy and gas regulation council, the local Medellín government, Empresas Públicas de Medellín, Grupo Nutresa, among others.
