I am a professor of economics at ITAM, in Mexico City, where I have worked since 2008.
I am a theorist and most of my research to date has been on choice theory and mechanism design.
My PhD is from Rutgers University, where my advisor was Richard P. McLean.
I serve as an Associate Editor for Journal of Mathematical Economics and Mathematical Social Sciences.
Here is my CV.
