Tomás’ research focuses on Political Economy, value theory, and input-output analysis. He investigates economic growth and distribution, the impact of intellectual monopoly on digital assets and the knowledge economy, and computational/quantitative methods in contemporary issues. His work often integrates Marxian theory with empirical modeling using R and Python.

Recent publications analyze global value chains, income inequality in the United States, and comparative economic exploitation across 43 countries. These studies employ quantitative frameworks to explore how information rents and intellectual monopoly affect value creation, distribution, and productivity.

Tomás’ affiliations include the Structural Economic Analysis Research Unit and the Association for Heterodox Economics. He teaches Advanced Econometrics, Econometrics, and Applied Quantitative Economics at postgraduate and undergraduate levels.
