Short bio

Picture
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the  Center for Research and Teaching in Economics  (CIDE in Spanish) at Mexico City. I received my Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Davis.  I am also a Faculty Associate at Cornell University's DEEP-GREEN-RADAR and TREESPEAR research groups, where I previously held a Visiting Fellow appointment.

My research expertise is at the intersection of development economics and econometric methods. I use econometrics to analyze phenomena in the context of economies with market failures, weak institutions, and government interventions. In my research, I combine traditional evaluation methods with other less-standard tools and approaches (such as local economy impact models, dynamic models of strategic interactions, spatial econometrics, among others).

At CIDE I teach the undergraduate course on Microeconometrics, a graduate course on Econometrics, and the graduate course on Impact Evaluation. I also co-lead the Thesis Seminar for master's students.
 
​I have worked as consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. I hold a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics from Universidad Autónoma Chapingo and a master's degree in Economics from El Colegio de México.
