Ricardo R. Noé

Bio:

Hi! I am a political economist with a PhD in Political Science from the University of Texas at Dallas, where I am a Berry Scholar. I am also an Adam Smith Fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. This upcoming summer, I will join the University of Houston-Downtown as an Assistant Professor of Political Science. 

My research focuses on the political economy of property rights in Latin America. I integrate formal theory and mixed methods to highlight the impact of property rights on political development. Now that property rights are not only economic but are also political institutions. 

My interest in property rights extends beyond academia. I have worked as an economic policy analyst for think tanks in Central America, assessing property rights regimes, and I currently consult in Latin America, assessing local government development policies to lower investment risk and increase economic participation.
