Javier J Perez

I am currently Director of the Economic Developments Department, within the Directorate General Economics, Statistics and Research of the Bank of Spain. I am also an alternate member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Eurosystem. Before, I was Head of the Conjunctural Analysis Division and Manager of the Public Sector and Fiscal Policy Unit, both at the Bank of Spain, Principal Economist at the Fiscal Policies Division of the European Central Bank, Senior Research Officer at a research foundation (centrA, Seville), and Associate Professor at University Pablo de Olavide of Seville and University Complutense of Madrid. I hold a Ph. D. in Economics from the latter university (with distinction). My research interests include macroeconomics, economic forecasting, fiscal policies, and European integration. In these fields I have contributed regularly to international and national publications.
