Camila Navajas-Ahumada
Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Government at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from UC San Diego in 2021.
I am an applied microeconomist working on development and labor economics. I use both experimental and quasi-experimental approaches to provide causal evidence and answer policy-relevant questions for developing economies.
