I am Full Professor of economics at the University of Coimbra and researcher at the Centre for Business and Economics Research (CeBER). I have been a visiting scholar at the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW), Mannheim (2015), and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh (2011), among others. My primary research interests are applied microeconomics and industrial organisation. In particular, I have been analysing the firm dynamics and their relationship with productivity, innovation, financial constraints and exports as well as agglomeration economies and regional knowledge spillovers. I have authored several articles in international scientific journals, book chapters and books, and have been the scientific coordinator of several research projects funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), the Portuguese government and private foundations.
