Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Director of the PhD Program in Economics.
My research lies at the intersection of development economics, labor economics, and political economy. I use applied microeconomic methods to study how institutions, public policies, and structural change shape economic behavior and social outcomes.
