Diego Adolfo Comin is a Spanish economist who is currently Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College.[1]
Background and research

In addition to teaching undergraduate courses, he is a Research Fellow at the Center for Economic Policy Research and a Faculty Research Fellow for the NBER.[6] Comin is also a fellow for the Institute of New Economic Thinking.[7]
From 2013 to 2015, Comin advised the prime minister of Malaysia on the country's development strategy and cofounded the Malaysian Public-Private Research Network. He has recently served as a consultant to Microsoft.[8]
Comin previously served as an associate professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, where he won the Apgar Prize for Innovation in Teaching, from 2007 to 2014. He was an assistant professor of economics at New York University from 2000 to 2007.
