Bio
Mario Diez Martínez
Master's student in Chinese Economy at Zhejiang University. His work sits between Chinese political economy, empirical economics, development, macroeconomic policy, and AI agents as research tools.
Mario studies how policy, institutions, trade, technology, and state capacity shape economic outcomes. China is the main empirical setting, but the broader question is how states and markets adapt when constraints change.
This site collects selected research, technical projects, and working notes. Some pages are polished outputs; others are closer to a public notebook where methods, readings, and ideas are still being sorted.
Site model
Projects
Things built or systematized: research infrastructure, data pipelines, AI-agent workflows, and empirical tools.
Notes
Fragments, reading traces, methods notes, links, and unfinished ideas that may later become research or projects.
