Martin Dieter Rode

Martin Dieter Rode is an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics within the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences at the Universidad de Navarra. He holds a PhD from the Universidad de Cantabria (2012), where his thesis examined 'Economic Freedom, Growth, Democracy, and Social Well-being' under the supervision of Dr. Sebastián Coll Martín and Dr. James Gwartney.

His research focuses on political economy, institutional analysis, and the interplay between economic policies and social outcomes. Key themes include economic freedom, democracy transitions, populism, regime changes, and welfare state dynamics. Notable contributions explore the impact of media freedom on political trust, the role of civic attitudes in welfare reforms, and historical legacies of colonialism on democratic development.

Rode's work frequently bridges quantitative methodologies with historical and comparative analysis. His recent studies investigate populism's economic implications, coup dynamics, and the cultural underpinnings of policy reforms. He has published widely in top journals, with a focus on topics like fiscal federalism, secession movements, and the political economy of inequality.
