To my right is Cindy A. Jacobs, my spouse, who is also a Ph.D. economist working at the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control as a senior research analyst.
Below the family is enjoying itself in Vancouver, Canada (Summer 2000). Juliana is seated to Cindy's left and Daniel is seated to my right.
In the photo above we are standing in front of the Pyramid of the Moon (approx. 500 BC) in Teotihuacan, Mexico (Spring 2004). Teotihuacan is about 30 miles northeast of Mexico City and well worth visiting.
We are next to Buckingham Palace (Spring 2005), and I'm next to Stonehenge (Summer 2007)--a truly impressive site that dates back to 3500 B.C.

Above we are standing in front of Christ Church College (Summer 2009) in Oxford, U.K., with a
good friend, Ravi, and I'm relaxing in my family room (Spring 2013).

In front of Trinity College, Cambridge, UK (Summer 2013)--it looks almost like the one at Trinity College, Hartford, CT!
Daniel and I in front of a lake in Madison, WI, where we celebrated David's graduation (my nephew) from the University of Wisconsin (Spring 2014). In the picture to the left, I'm holding a trophy for 3rd place in the Parker Holt Memorial 5K (time: 20:41; 6:39 pace per mile).
Cindy and I at Montego Bay, Jamaica(November 2013) and in front of the Chicago river (Summer 2014).
Above, crossing the finish line in 1st place at the Meriden 10k (6.2 miles) race to benefit mental health (May 3rd, 2014), and trying to catch up with a faster runner at Jamie's 5k run in Wethersfield, CT(Nov. 2nd, 2014). In the photos below I'm holding the 1st place overall trophy and medal (a first for me, and as you can tell I'm very happy!),with Cindy in San Francisco (Summer 2014), receiving the first place medal for my division (50-59) at the Portland 5K road race (Fall 2013), and enjoying some down time at the International Atlantic Economic Meetings in Savannah, GA (October 2014).

In the photo (left) above I'm crossing the finish line in 1st place (overall) at the 10k (6.2 miles) CHC road race to benefit mental health in Meriden, CT, May 2nd, 2015--this is the second year in a row that I have won this road race! In the photo (right) above I'm with Cindy, Lee, Brent, Linda and Geoff (to my far right who's 86 and ran the race!) at the Relay for Life 5K race, May 31st, 2015.

In the photo above I'm with my economics students at Yale University on the last day of Summer Session A (July 2nd, 2015). I taught a course entitled, "Topics in International Economics" (Econ. S328). In the the two photos next to it, respectively, second place winner (overall) in the St. Joseph University 5K road race (June 20th, 2015), and second place winner (overall) in the Glastonbury 5k Relay for Life road race (May 31st, 2015).
In the photos above we are at West Rock Park, Westville, CT (October 2015); I'm at the Alamo, San Antonio, TX, where I attended an economics conference (November 2015), racing towards the finish line at Jamie's 5k Run, Wethersfield, CT (November 8th 2015), and at the finish line of the Manchester road race with Cindy (November 26th, 2015) . In the photo below I'm crossing the finish line in third place overall (in a time of 46 minutes) in the CHC road race to benefit mental health in Meriden, CT, May7th, 2016.
In the pic below I'm with some of my Yale economics students on the last day of class (Session A, Econ. S328, July 1st, 2016). In the other pics I'm receiving the second place trophy in my division for the Scottish Rite 5K (July 23rd, 2016) and with Cindy at the Daffodil 5k (April 23rd, 2017) where we both finished first in our respective divisions!

Personal Information and Academic Interests:
I am a native of Chile and a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1990. I received my Ph. D. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984. My teaching interests are primarily in the areas of Latin American economic development and international finance. At the College I usually offer Latin American economic development (Econ. 231) during the fall term, while international finance (Econ. 316) is taught during the spring term.
As far as my research is concerned, it is primarily dedicated to analyzing the challenges and opportunities that Latin American nations face as they attempt to stabilize and reform their economies. In particular, my work has reviewed and analyzed the impact of adjustment and stabilization measures in Chile and Mexico, as well as the mixed success of structural reform programs such as privatization of state-owned firms, deregulation of economic activity, and liberalization of trade and finance. For further information on my research and teaching interests, as well as useful research and teaching links, please refer to the information below.
