Jordán Mosqueda Juárez
I'm an economist interested in the economics of cities, transportation, and regional trade. In my research I combine quantitative tools from International Trade and rich spatial microdata to study the costs that people and goods face to move across space.
I received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California San Diego in 2026.
I will be a Scientist at Uber based in the San Francisco Bay Area this Fall.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I was an Economist at the Bank of Mexico researching issues on the industrial organization of the energy sector.
I have been recognized as a 2026 Young Urban Economist by the International Growth Centre (IGC) and the World Bank, and have received the Clive Granger Research Award for Most Promising Graduate Student Research and the Walter Heller Memorial Prize for Best Third-Year Paper, both awarded by UC San Diego.

How are commuting costs determined in cities with mixed public-private transit? What are the welfare and spatial effects of price-shifting policies such as subsidies and price regulations?
What is the planner's optimal transit network when different transit technologies with distinct fixed and marginal costs are available?
What is the effect of crime on transportation firms and goods prices? What are the aggregate welfare effects of crime?
How does spatial competition influences prices between firms?
