Francisco Javier Ramos Real

Francisco Javier Ramos Real serves as Full Professor in the Department of Economics, Accounting and Finance at the University of La Laguna, Spain, a position held since 2018 after advancing from Associate Professor (until 2018) and Part-time Lecturer roles (until 2004). His twenty-five-year academic career spans all university education levels across multiple degree programs within the university's social sciences framework.

His educational qualifications include:

• PhD in Economic Analysis from the University of La Laguna (2000) with thesis "Integration Economies and Productivity in the Spanish Electricity Sector (1983-1996): A Multiproductive Approach" supervised by Dr. Sergio Jara-Díaz and Dr. Eduardo Martínez Budría

Professor Ramos Real's research centers on Energy Economics with dual emphases: microeconomic analysis of production/cost functions and efficiency measurement in electricity/gas markets using advanced econometric techniques; and regulatory governance studies employing index number decomposition and mean-variance portfolio theory for cost-risk efficiency frontiers. His work addresses critical energy challenges specific to Spain's Canary Islands region, bridging theoretical economic frameworks with practical sector applications through direct industry engagement.

He maintains active international research collaborations with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Paris-Sud University, and the University of Chile, fostering global knowledge exchange. His knowledge transfer initiatives include impactful research contracts with the Government of the Canary Islands and regional energy enterprises, producing socio-economic impact reports that directly inform archipelago-wide energy policy decisions.

As a core member of the TRESOS research group (Energy Transition and Sustainability), he contributes to interdisciplinary projects addressing renewable energy integration and sustainable development pathways for island ecosystems.
