Ana López Ojeda

Ana López Ojeda serves as a PartTime Lecturer in the Department of Applied Economic Analysis at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, specializing in applied economics within Social and Legal Sciences. Her research addresses critical regional challenges through empirical economic analysis.

Her academic qualifications include:

• Master's Degree in Tourism, Transport and Environmental Economics (2018)
• Degree in Economics (2017)

Her research examines the complex interplay between economic development and sustainability in insular contexts, with particular emphasis on tourism-driven growth patterns and infrastructure planning. She investigates how transportation networks impact socioeconomic equity in peripheral regions, employing quantitative methods to assess policy interventions. Her work bridges theoretical economic models with practical environmental and social constraints unique to island territories like the Canary Islands.

Recent scholarly output demonstrates consistent focus on regional economic dynamics, with publications analyzing tourism's dual role in driving growth while straining ecological systems, and evaluating infrastructure investments through social welfare frameworks. These works establish her expertise in location-specific economic policy formulation.

She actively contributes to the GIR Economy, Trade and Maritime Transport research group, collaborating on projects examining maritime logistics, trade flows, and sustainable resource management in Atlantic island economies. This affiliation provides institutional support for her fieldwork-intensive research approach.
