Academic and professional trajectory

Manuel Alberto Gómez Suárez is a Full Professor in the Department of Applied Economics II at the Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences of the University of A Coruña, a position he has held since 2009. With a markedly quantitative profile, he has a solid and extensive track record in the field of economic research spanning more than two decades, reflected in a continuous output of scientific articles in indexed international journals since 1999. His scientific leadership is evidenced by the uninterrupted direction of competitive research projects successively funded by regional and national bodies, notably the Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, the Xunta de Galicia, and the University of A Coruña itself.
