His career has established him as a leading figure in the fields of macroeconomics and applied economics in Argentina.

Throughout his professional career, De Pablo combined teaching with research and consulting. He served as chief economist at the Latin American Economic Research Foundation (FIEL) from 1965 to 1975, and has taught at leading universities such as the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), the University of San Andrés (UDESA), and the University of CEMA (UCEMA), where he was awarded an honorary doctorate.

His style is characterized by demystifying technical concepts, using simple language that is accessible to the general public.

As a regular columnist for the newspaper La Nación and editor of its weekly newsletter, CONTEXTO, De Pablo has exerted a constant influence on public debate in Argentina. His philosophy is distinguished by its emphasis on the analysis of economic policy in practice, arguing that the discipline must be understood through the concrete decisions of human beings and governments, and not merely through abstract models.
