I am a PhD Candidate in Economics and Statistics at MIT, advised by Esther Duflo and Parag Pathak.
I fancy topics related to Development Economics, Empirical IO/Market Design, and Education/Labor Economics. Additionally, I am interested in Econometrics.
Previously, I was an Instructor at Universidad de Chile. I also worked at The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and Microsoft Research as a Predoctoral Fellow.
