Welcome!

I am an associate professor in the Department of Economics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and a scholar in the Institutions, Organizations, and Growth program of The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.

My main research area is economic history, with particular emphasis on Early Modern Spain. I am originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I obtained my Ph.D. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, USA. You may view my Google Scholar research profile here.

At UBC I teach graduate and undergraduate courses in various economic history topics, and I am in charge of the seminar series in economic history as well. One of my hobbies is photography; in my fun page you will find my pictures from many parts of the world, including beautiful British Columbia.

During the 2011/2012 academic year I will be on study leave at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. If you want to get in touch, please send me an email at drelichm at mail dot ubc dot ca.
