Dr. Jesus Barreal Pernas serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Quantitative Economics at the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences, University of Santiago de Compostela. His research bridges environmental policy, tourism economics, and educational innovation with significant regional impact in Galicia and broader European relevance. His academic foundation includes a 2015 PhD from the University of Santiago de Compostela with thesis "Wildfires in Galicia: causality, forest policy and risk in forest management" supervised by Dra. Maria L. Loureiro. This environmental economics work established his expertise in spatial analysis of forest systems. Barreal Pernas' research program demonstrates three converging trajectories: First, environmental economics focusing on wildfire patterns and forest policy in Galicia using spatial econometrics. Second, tourism economics examining sustainable financing mechanisms (particularly green tax willingness), international tourist segmentation, and PDO region development. Third, educational innovation through gamification techniques for teaching statistics in economics and tourism degrees. His recent publications reveal increasing emphasis on gender perspectives in financial inclusion and pandemic-related economic impacts. Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications shows methodological sophistication in spatial modeling and survey-based behavioral research, with strong policy relevance for Galician regional authorities and European tourism sectors. Key thematic clusters include sustainable tourism financing (12% of recent output), educational technology applications (18%), wildfire management (8%), and gender economics (7%). No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials, though his collaborative network spans multiple European institutions as evidenced by co-authorship patterns. His advisory role appears focused on thesis supervision within USC's economics programs, with research projects frequently addressing practical challenges in Galician tourism and environmental management. Current initiatives suggest expansion into post-pandemic tourism recovery and advanced gamification frameworks for quantitative education.
