Manel Antelo Suarez

Manel Antelo Suarez serves as Professor in the Department of Fundamentals of Economic Analysis at the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, University of Santiago de Compostela. He maintains dual research affiliations with the Interuniversity Research Center in Economics and Business for Society (ECOBAS) and the AEMI research group (Economic Analysis of Markets and Institutions), focusing on interdisciplinary economic applications.

His doctoral training culminated in a 1996 PhD thesis titled Essays in industrial organization under Dr. Roberto Burguet Verde at the University of Santiago de Compostela, establishing his foundational expertise in market structure analysis.

Research spans five core domains: Industrial Organization (technology licensing models in Stackelberg/Cournot frameworks), Fisheries Economics (sustainability of small-scale/recreational fisheries under EU policies), Health Economics (medical technology adoption and cost-effectiveness), Environmental Economics (tax policy under asymmetric information), and Behavioral Economics (credit market biases). His methodology integrates game-theoretic modeling with empirical validation across diverse sectors.

Analysis of 2022-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) Licensing mechanics across 17 variants of duopoly/oligopoly structures; (2) Fisheries economics addressing socio-ecological impacts of EU Common Fisheries Policy; (3) Health technology assessment of imaging devices and cardiac implants. These threads demonstrate consistent theoretical rigor applied to policy-relevant questions in resource management and innovation diffusion.

As core member of the AEMI research group and ECOBAS center, he contributes to collaborative projects examining institutional design for sustainable resource governance, with particular emphasis on Galician fisheries and Iberian health systems. His work frequently bridges economics with ecology, public health, and marine science through cross-disciplinary co-authorship.
