Welcome to my personal webpage. I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. I am an applied econometrician whose research focuses on intergenerational mobility, complemented by a strong interest in theoretical econometrics and broader applications in development economics. My thesis develops methods to study intergenerational income mobility, integrating locally robust, semi-parametric inference with machine learning.
I am on the 2025/26 Job Market. Here's my Job Market Paper.
