Ariadna Garcia-Prado

I am Associate Professor at the Economics Department of Public University of Navarra (UPNA). I have extensive experience working in and with non-academic international institutions, including more than nine years at the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank (Washington DC, USA), where I worked both as a researcher and as manager of healthcare projects in developing countries. With the help of government fellowships, my doctoral research was carried out at the University of York, London School of Economics, Georgetown University, Erasmus University of Rotterdam, and Johns Hopkins University, and as a post-doc I received a one-year fellowship as a visiting researcher at Boston University (Economics Department).
I have been recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education for knowledge transfer (obtaining a "Sexenio de Transferencia" on 2020).
