University of Michigan
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan. I am on the 2025-26 job market.
Fields: Industrial Organization, Economics of Education, Applied Microeconomics
In my research, I use causal inference methods and tools from industrial organization to study education markets. I am particularly interested in the equilibrium effects of quality regulation, information frictions, and technology adoption in higher education. My work has been supported by the Institute for Social Research and the Center for Education of Women+.
I have a B.A. and M.Sc. in Economics from Universidad del Pacífico (Lima, Peru). Prior to graduate school, I was a Research Fellow at the Inter-American Development Bank.
