Teaching
My teaching activities include both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, basically whithin the field of Ecological Economics and Resource Economics. I mainly teach at UAB, but I also participate in some other Master and PhD programmes. Moreover, I participate in series of summer schools such as Liphe4 Summer School, or Economía Ecológica en la UPO, and I give single lectures at different Masters.
