Jesús Rodríguez López

Jesús Rodríguez López serves as Professor in the Department of Economics, Quantitative Methods and Economic History at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, where he contributes to the Doctoral Program in Quantitative Methods for Management and operates within the PAIDI Social and Legal Sciences framework.

He earned his doctorate from the Universidad Pablo de Olavide in 2003 with the thesis "A theory of target zones," supervised by Dr. Hugo Rodríguez Mendizábal and Dr. José Mª O'Kean Alonso. This foundational work established his expertise in exchange rate regimes and macroeconomic policy.

Professor Rodríguez López's research program centers on Environmental and Transport Economics, with extensive empirical work on European road transport emissions, fuel taxation impacts, and road safety policies. His macroeconomic scholarship examines business cycles, economic growth, and productivity dynamics, while maintaining active contributions to International Economics through exchange rate regime analysis. His methodological approach consistently employs advanced econometric techniques and dynamic panel data modeling.

Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals a decisive shift toward environmental transport economics since 2015, with 60% of recent work focusing on CO₂ emissions, dieselization effects, and road safety systems. This environmental focus coexists with sustained macroeconomic research on business cycle accounting and technological productivity sources, demonstrating remarkable interdisciplinary range within applied economic analysis.

He actively participates in the "APPLIED ECONOMIC ANALYSIS" research group, which provides the institutional framework for his empirical investigations into policy-relevant economic questions using quantitative methodologies.
