Carlos Salamanca

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Economics department at Pennsylvania State University. My research focuses on the intersection of trade, development, and applied microeconomics. Currently, I am investigating how firms learn to utilize trade agreements and how income shocks influence decisions to enter self-employment.

Before starting graduate school, I worked as a research assistant at the Inter-American Development Bank and Universidad del Rosario.

I will be on the job market for the 2023-24 academic year.
