Fernando Aragon

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at Simon Fraser University (Canada). I received my PhD from the London School of Economics and joined the Department of Economics at SFU in 2010.

My research relates to the fields of Development, Environmental, and Political Economics.

My work is applied and explores the role of natural resources and institutions on local development, economic effects of pollution, and adaptation to climate change, specially of rural households in less developed countries.
