Welcome to my personal website!

I am a senior economist at the Office of the Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean at the World Bank. Before, I was an Associate Professor of the Department of Economics at Universidad de los Andes, and Senior Advisor of the Technical Committee of the Colombian Fiscal Rule. I was also a Visiting Associate Professor at Hong Kong University during 2019. My research interests are in the fields of Macroeconomics and Economic Development. Recently, I have worked on the fiscal consequences of aging, industrial policy, and the response of households to economic shocks. I hold a Ph.D and M.A. in Economics from UCLA; and an M.A. and B.A. in Economics from Universidad del Rosario.
