Crhistian Joel González-Cuatianquis is a PhD candidate in Regional Science and Economic Geography at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI), with a background in economics. He previously worked at Mexico’s National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL), where he coordinated research and reports on social rights, the use of evaluations, and subnational social development policies.

His main research interests lie in the determinants of regional inequalities and their relationship with subjective well-being, educational aspirations, and perceptions of territorial and personal left-behindness. He combines microdata with econometric and spatial analysis techniques to examine how socioeconomic and territorial contexts shape individual perceptions and social outcomes, with empirical applications in Europe and Latin America.

He's currently working at the CGA in understanding how spatial inequalities shape aspirations of young students to attend higher education in Mexico and Colombia.
