Welcome to My Academic Homepage

I am an Associate Professor of Economics (with tenure) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. My research primarily focuses on Microeconomic Theory, Industrial Organization and Political Economy, in particular:

• The role of digital platforms and AI in shaping individual and collective decision-making.

• Incentive provision and talent selection in firms and organizations.

• Product Differentiation Through Advertising in markets and politics.

My work contributes to advancing our understanding of strategic decision-making in economic and political environments, with implications for policy and institutional design. 

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) in 2012 and my Diplom-Volkswirt (equivalent to an M.A. in Economics) from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Germany) in 2006.

In 2024, I was awarded a Ramón y Cajal fellowship by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI, Spanish National Science Agency). I am also Principal Investigator of the AEI funded research projects "Public Good Provision under Uncertainty in Democracies and Learning Dynamics in Digital Social Networks" and “Navigating Uncertainty: Contracts, Cooperation, and Collective Decisions”. Since 2020, I have been a research associate of the EFFORT Project.
