Jonathan Simon

Jonathan Simon works at the intersection of law, economics, finance, accounting, and public policy. He holds a degree in Law, earned with academic distinction, and a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. His academic background also includes studies in Accounting, with a focus on taxation and cross-border fiscal matters, as well as additional coursework in behavioral economics, macroeconomics, international law, and public policy.

His research interests center on the relationship between legal institutions, economic incentives, financial systems, and public policy, with a particular focus on economic theory, taxation, and the ways in which fiscal and monetary policy frameworks shape economic outcomes. From an early age, he developed a strong interest in free-market economics and the broader traditions of classical liberal and libertarian thought. This intellectual foundation continues to inform his work on how market-oriented institutions, economic freedom, and institutional quality shape national prosperity and human welfare.

Recent and ongoing research includes “Macroeconomic Effects of Fiscal Consolidation and Monetary Stabilization: Evidence from Argentina, 2023–2025,” “The Invisible Hand, 250 Years Later: The Visible Hand of Freedom — Adam Smith, the Enlightenment, and the Prosperity of Nations in the 21st Century,” and “Economic Freedom and Its Relationship with the Welfare, Prosperity, and Wealth of Nations in the 21st Century: A Global Analysis.”

Alongside his research, Jonathan has supported students across disciplines through mentorship and academic guidance, contributing to their intellectual and professional development. He is trilingual, with fluency in Spanish, Italian, and English.
