Keynote Speakers

Prof. Belén Jerez (Universidad Carlos III)

Belén Jerez is a Professor of Economics at UC3M (PhD, UCLA) and a Sloan Foundation Fellow. She has held visiting positions at the University of Pennsylvania and University of British Columbia.

Jerez's research integrates search and informational frictions into equilibrium models, building novel bridges between GE theory, search, and information economics (using linear programming). She has applied search-theoretic models to housing, commerce, and monetary economics. Her current work breaks new ground on the role of intermediaries like temporary work agencies.
