Development, institutions
and human behavior.
I work at the intersection of development economics, political economy and behavioral economics. My research explores how people and institutions shape economic outcomes.
About me
I am a research professor of economics at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico. My research and teaching span development economics, political economy and their links with behavioral economics.
I received my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Berkeley. I previously taught at Universidad del Pacífico in Lima and Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá.
I am a network co-director of LACEA-BRAIN and co-organizer of the Workshop of Experimental and Behavioral Economics of the Americas (WEBEA).
My academic service includes the Advisory Committee for INEI’s University Extension Program in Data Science, run by the Peruvian Statistical Institute, and the Scientific Committee for the RIDGE Summer School in Economics.
I created the Spanish-language MOOC Behavioral Economics for Effective Public Management on edX. I also share reflections on economics and politics on Substack.
