I am a scientific researcher and the director of the Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE-CSIC), Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain.
I am also a research professor at the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE).
News (2024-07-11): Our paper 'Shapley-Scarf Housing Markets: Respecting Improvement, Integer Programming, and Kidney Exchange' (forthcoming in Mathematics of Operations Research, open access) received the 2024 SEIO-FBBVA award in the category "Best applied contribution in Operations Research." The article contains theoretical findings, novel integer programming formulations, and simulations to study kidney exchange programs. It focuses on the question whether current practices and alternative solutions incentivize each patient to bring the best possible set of donors to the programs.
About me:
M.Sc. in Mathematics (1996) from Radboud University Nijmegen (NL);
Ph.D. in Economics (2000) from CentER for Economic Research at Tilburg University (NL).
As a microeconomic theorist I study the design and implementation of fair/stable, efficient, and strategy-proof mechanisms to
assign indivisible objects to economic agents (e.g., school/university seats to children/students and related labor markets);
facilitate exchanges in markets where goods or services are traded without the use of money (e.g., kidney exchange, time banks, and Erasmus exchange).
Keywords: matching theory, market design, game theory, microeconomics, social choice theory, and operations research.
