Alejandro Rojas Bernal

Dr. Alejandro Rojas Bernal is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at University of Hawai'i at Manoa. His macroeconomic research examines how production networks shape inequality, productivity, and international comovement.

Key research areas include:

• Network-based analysis of labor share dynamics
• Misallocation mechanisms in distorted economies
• International transmission of economic shocks
• Nonlinear effects in production networks

His theoretical work develops decomposition frameworks for understanding how firm-level shocks propagate through economies with heterogeneous agents. Recent working papers model how income distribution affects total factor productivity through network structures.

Dr. Rojas Bernal teaches econometrics and international finance at undergraduate and graduate levels. His research informs policies on industrial development and international tax coordination.
