Joaquín Barrutia Álvarez

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Emory University. I was born and raised in Mexico City, where everyone knows me as Quino (though, of course, there’s only one Quino). I hold a B.A. in Economics from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and an M.Sc. in Economics from Uppsala University.

Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at ITAM’s Center for Economic Research (CIE) and as a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow at Georgetown University through the UPPER Global Research Training Initiative.

My research interests lie in political economy, development, and the economics of crime, especially in how governments and armed groups use public communication to shape beliefs, discipline dissent, and exercise control.
