Education

I obtained my bachelor's degree in economics at Universidad Externado de Colombia in 2014. I finished my PhD in economics at The New School for Social Research under the supervision of Anwar Shaikh in 2019.

Research Interests

I am interested in analytical political economy and Bayesian inference. Particularly, I work on areas related to growth theory, unemployment theory, game-theoretic bargaining models, the history of economic thought, the history of capitalism, and time series.
