Fabio Fernando Moscoso

Fabio Fernando Moscoso is a Lecturer and Research Group Director at EAN University in Bogotá, Colombia, specializing in international economics and business. He has been affiliated with EAN University since 2009, where he serves as a full-time lecturer in the post-graduate department and editor for Ploutos journal established in 2011. Prior to this position, he taught at multiple Colombian universities including Universidad Externado de Colombia, Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Universidad de la Sabana, and Pontificia Universidad Javeriana between 2004 and 2009.

Dr. Moscoso holds a PhD in International Economics from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland (1998-2003), a Post-graduate Diploma in International Trade and Sustainable Development from the University of Geneva (2000-2001), and a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics from Universidad Piloto de Colombia (1992-1997). His research focuses on international trade, economic competitiveness, cultural industries, and small business development, with particular emphasis on Colombia's integration into global markets.

His recent publications demonstrate a shift toward analyzing the economic and social impact of cultural festivals in Colombia, using ethnographic methodologies and social heuristics perspectives. He has also published extensively on trade agreements, regional competitiveness measurement, and the challenges faced by microenterprises in Colombia. His 2015 research on institutional barriers in Colombia's biotechnology sector highlights regulatory frameworks as significant obstacles to R&D activities.

As Director of the Economic Environment Research Group, Moscoso leads research that bridges academic inquiry with practical economic policy considerations. His work often involves collaboration with Colombian government entities, including partnerships with the Ministry of Culture on festival impact studies. His multilingual capabilities (Spanish native, French and English C1, Italian B1) support his international research perspective.
