Biography
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires. I started economics at UBA and then went to Univerisdad Torcuato Di Tella before moving to the US to study. I received my PhD in Economics at the University of Wisconsin in 2006. My dissertation was on information acquisition in voting. I was assistant professor at the Haas Business School, UC-Berkeley, until 2012. Then I moved to the United Kingdom and I worked in Royal Holloway and the University of Essex. In 2020 I moved to the School of Economics at the University of Bristol. After I left Wisconsin, I have co-authored papers with David Ahn (WashU), Felix Vardy (IMF), Matias Iaryczower (Princeton), Yair Antler (Hebrew University), Daniel Bird (Hebrew University), and Parth Parihar (Princeton). I have some projects with other people that are currently in stand by.

Teaching
I have an extensive background in teaching. In Argetina I taught secondary school economics; undegrad microeconomics, macroeconomic, and money, credit and banking, all in UBA; macroeconomics at UADE; and multiple courses in regulation for Regulatory agencies. In the US I taught microeconomics for undergrad and Game Thoey for MBAs. When I moved to the UK I started teaching PhDs in different universities. I usually choose to teach topics in microeconomic theory with emphasis in the importance of empirical work and the feedback loop between theory and empirics. Also in the UK, I have taught mathematics for undergrads, microeconomics, political economy and math for Masters. Currently, at Bristol, I teach Math for Mres and Microeconomics for Masters, both jointly with other faculty.
