My name is Luis Guirola, welcome to my web page! 

I work at the Unit of the Spanish Survey of Household Finances, as part of the research staff (web) of the Bank of Spain. I wrote my dissertation at Duke (2021) under the supervision of Pablo Beramendi.

My interests (click here for details) span the basis of topics:

• Households:  their expectations, life-cycle choices (marriage, fertility,...), and resulting inequalities (gender, dual labor markets, and immigration).

• Politics: polarization, partisan bias, and their link with representation.

• Data science & econometrics: survey methods, statistical programming, bayesian statistics, and causal inference.

Beyond research, I enjoy most things that make me either laugh or sweat: afterworks in Barcelona, ideally involving karaoke; Crossfit; the music of Metallica and Martha Argerich, silly arguments, fountain pens, and the company of this outstanding woman.
