Welcome!

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). I am also a Research Fellow at the Center for Data and Knowledge Integration for Health (CIDACS /Fiocruz Bahia).

My research interests are in applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on public policy analysis related to health, education, and labour. My work has been published in journals such as the Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, and Regional Science and Urban Economics, among others.
