Work Experience and Education

Carlos, an ecological economist, is professor for urban studies  at El Colegio de Mexico’s CEDUA. Carlos’ recent research explores urban water with a modeling approach based on input-output economics linking the valuation mechanisms of price and cost to the physical dimension of infrastructure producing urban water, to the ecological conditions for sustainable use, and to the technological structure of the urban economy. Carlos’ teaching activities include courses in Ecological Economics, Political Economy, Political Ecology and Nature and Society, for both the masters and the doctorate programs on urban studies at CEDUA. Carlos’ collaboration with the BioMaterialities project is based on a socioeconomic analysis of different production technologies in agriculture. The analysis combines the methodologies of social accounting and social-LCA to understand the similarities and differences of agricultural technologies, not only in terms of the input structure and its ecological impacts, but also including an assessment on how communities are articulated through labor requirements and income generation.
