I'm an Research Professor of Economics at Universidad Iberoamericana (known as Ibero) in Mexico City.
I am an Applied Microeconomist with research interests spanning the fields of Development Economics, Political Economy, and Behavioral Economics, with special interest in the causes and consequences of crime and violence, the interaction between legal and illicit activities, and political and economic behavior. My regional expertise focuses on Latin America.
I coordinate our research seminar, if you would like to visit Mexico City using your funds, please let me know.
Along with my colleagues at Ibero, I contribute regularly as a columnist for La Crónica de Hoy, a Mexican newspaper. You can find my columns here (in Spanish).
I received a Ph.D. from University of Maryland, College Park in 2024, a Master and a B.A. in Economics, and a B.A. in Finance from Universidad del Rosario, Colombia.
You can access the latest version of my CV in English here and in Spanish here.
