I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance (Munich). Prior to that, I was a graduate student at the Universidad Carlos III (Madrid), where I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics in 2017.
I am an applied theorist with interests in contests, political economy and bounded rationality. I recently started working on empirical and experimental economics.
I am doing a small job search in the academic job market 2022/23 and am available for interviews at your convenience. I will present my research at the SAEe (Valencia), EWMES (Berlin), and ASSA (New Orleans).
