If you are a student at EESP-FGV and want to talk to me, you can schedule a meeting here.

You can find my complete CV here. You can also check my Twitter or my LinkedIn.

My current research interests include Theoretical and Applied Microeconometrics, an area full of amazing questions whose answers, when theoretically grounded and well-identified, can guide policy implementation.
