Welcome to my webpage!

I am an Senior Quantitative Analyst at Ivàlua and  an Associate Professor of Economics (on leave)  at the University of Barcelona. I am affiliated with the Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB), where I co-direct the Political Economy Program, and the Institutions and Political Economy Research Center (IPERC). I am also an IZA Research Affiliate.

My research interests are in public economics, political economy and comparative politics, and economics of education and social mobility.

I obtained my PhD in Economics at the European University Institute in 2016, and afterwards, I was a postdoctoral fellow at CORE (UCLouvain) and IPEG. In 2022, I was a Visiting Research Scholar at Princeton University's Bobst Center and Politics Department.
