Raül Santaeulàlia-Llopis is a Beatriz Galindo Senior Research Professor in Economics at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and a BSE Affiliated Professor.
His background is in quantitative macroeconomics, where the careful aggregation of individual behavior is essential. His research focuses on economic growth and macro development. Professor Santaeulàlia-Llopis is interested in the relationship between social insurance, productivity, and economic growth. He is also interested in the determinants of HIV and how these shape (and are shaped by) economic development. His work in progress includes a field project on Social Insurance and Economic Growth (SIEG) in Southern Malawi with Pau Milan (UAB and BSE) and Leandro De Magalhaes (Bristol).
A large part of his current work focuses on economic inequality from a macroeconomic perspective by studying the short- and long-run behavior of the labor share of income and its linkages with intellectual property products.
Prior to his arrival to Barcelona, Professor Santaeulàlia-Llopis was a Research Fellow at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and at the Institute of Public Health at Washington University in St. Louis and an Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
