Joaquin A. Urrego

Postdoctoral Scholar at UC - Berkeley

Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California—Berkeley in the Haas School of Business. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Syracuse University in 2022. My fields are Urban Economics, Development, Economics of Crime, and Real Estate. My research uses GIS analysis to understand how the built environment and neighborhood amenities explain different spatial patterns of informal housing, crime rates, commercial real estate, and police activity.

I am on the 2024-2025 Job Market and will be attending the ASSA 2025 meeting in San Francisco
