Joaquin A. Urrego

Postdoctoral Scholar at UC - Berkeley

Welcome! I am currently a pre-Job Market Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California—Berkeley. I have a Ph.D. in Economics from Syracuse University. My fields are Urban Economics, Development, and the Economics of Crime. My research uses GIS analysis to understand how the built environment and neighborhood amenities explain different spatial patterns of informal housing, crime rates, commercial rents, and police activity.

I am in the 2024-2025 Job Market
