SALVADOR CALATAYUD GINER

Salvador Calatayud Giner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economic Analysis at the Faculty of Economics, University of Valencia. He is affiliated with the Inter-university Institute López Piñero and actively participates in two research groups: HISCUCON (Cultural and Social History of Contemporaneity) and EHVALENCIA (Economic Development in Historical Perspective).

His research focuses on economic history, particularly agrarian development, irrigation systems, institutional economics, and social inequality in Spain, with a regional emphasis on Valencia during the 19th and 20th centuries. He explores themes such as land use, market structures, water management, and the nutritional transition, often analyzing historical data to understand long-term socioeconomic trends.

His recent publications (up to 2025) reflect a strong focus on Spanish and Mediterranean economic history, with recurring topics including sericulture decline, irrigation governance, bourgeois classes, and inequality during dietary transitions. While a few publications appear in neuroscience and microbiology, the overwhelming majority are in the social sciences, suggesting his primary scholarly identity lies in economic and social history.
