Campus : Madrid

Ivan Savin is an Associate Professor of Quantitative Analytics at ESCP Business School, Madrid Campus. At ESCP, Ivan teaches courses on Advanced Statistics, Machine Learning, and Innovation and Business Ideas. He also directs the Master in Management (MiM) specialization “AI and Robotics.” Ivan’s research interests include the economics of innovation, environmental economics, climate policy, complex systems, and evolutionary economics. He has published in leading field journals on economics of innovation (e.g., Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, Journal of Technology Trans-fer), environmental economics (e.g., Journal of Environmental Economics and Manage-ment, Environmental and Resource Economics), climate policy studies (Climate Poli-cy, Climatic Change, WIREs Climate Change), and in general journals (e.g., Nature Sustain-ability, Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PLOS One, Scientific Reports). He has authored over 75 articles in JCR-indexed international jour-nals, many of which are ranked as Q1 and D1. Before joining ESCP, Ivan served as a postdoctoral research fellow within the ERC project EVOCLIM at ICTA-UAB, where he studied how the effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and acceptability of climate policies could be improved. In this role, he extensively worked with public and expert surveys, employing artificial intelligence to efficiently explore and classi-fy large datasets. Prior to this, he contributed to the KIT-BETA project on general-purpose technologies, creativity, and sustainability, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Friedrich Schiller University in the Graduate College The Economics of Innovative Change. Ivan earned his PhD in 2011 from the Department of Economics at Justus Liebig University of Giessen (Chair of Econometrics, supervised by Prof. Dr. Peter Winker), focusing on ap-plications of evolutionary optimisation to time-series and panel data econometric models. In 2017, he habilitated at KIT with a thesis titled Applications of Evolutionary Optimization and Modelling in Economics.
