Maria Petrova and Mar Reguant elected Econometric Society Fellows
BSE Research Professors Maria Petrova and Mar Reguant have been elected Fellows of the Econometric Society.
The Econometric Society is an international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics. Fellows represent the highest authority in the Society. The Society’s members nominate new Fellows each year in the fall. To be eligible for nomination as a Fellow, a candidate must have published original contributions to economic theory or to such statistical, mathematical, or accounting analyses that have a definite bearing on problems in economic theory.
Maria Petrova
Maria Petrova (PhD Harvard University) is ICREA Research Professor at the Institute for Political Economy and Governance (IPEG) and an Affiliated Professor of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE). She is a Research Fellow of CEPR and Research Affiliate of CESifo.
Professor Petrova is an applied microeconomist whose focus is information economics, political economy, and development. She seeks to understand how information flows affect complex links between economic and political phenomena. Existing works traditionally underestimate the role of information provision in media for different aspects of development, and her research fills this gap. The main question that she addresses in her work is how information affects political, economic, and financial outcomes in different countries. Her recent research is focused on the political economy of traditional and social media, and on the determinants and implications of individual political donations.
Mar Reguant
Mar Reguant (PhD MIT) is ICREA Researcher at the Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE-CSIC) and an Affiliated Professor of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE), where she is the Director of the Master's in Economics of Energy, Climate Change, and Sustainability. She is also a part-time professor at Northwestern University.
Her research uses high-frequency data to study the impact of auction design and environmental regulation on electricity markets and energy-intensive industries. She has studied questions such as strategic behavior in electricity markets in the presence of startup costs, the dynamic impacts of climate policies on energy-intensive industries, and the leakage concerns regarding climate policies. In her current work, she studies the energy transition with a focus on the electricity sector.
