When Satefy Becomes Risky. Essays on Venality, Safe Assets, and the Bubble for Officesin Early Modern Spain.

This work would not have been possible without the guidance and support of my supervisors, Mauro Hernández and Stefano Battilossi. I also thank my PhD colleagues at UC3M, and those who shared this journey—my family, R. Grafe, and F. Braggion—as well as colleagues at EUI, USP, Tilburg University, Universitat de València, and CUNEF. I am deeply grateful to the Pérez Picazo Award 2024 committee. Finally, special thanks to Pablo Martín-Aceña and Paco Comín for sparking my passion for Economic History.
