About me
I am a PhD Candidate in Economics and work as a Pre-doc Lecturer-Researcher at Universitat de Barcelona (UB). I am affiliated to the Institut d'Economia de Barcelona (IEB).
I obtained my MSc in Economics from Universität Mannheim (UniMA) in 2019 and my Bachelor's degree in Economics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in 2016.
How do individuals, households and firms respond to government policies (mainly taxes, fiscal regulations or public spending)? I address these research questions with causal inference methods fuelled by linked micro-data.
