I am an assistant professor at ESE Business School, where I also serve as Academic Director of the Real Estate Modeling Lab (https://remlab.cl). I earned my Ph.D. in Business Economics from the Haas Business School, UC Berkeley. Prior to joining ESE, I spent two years in the faculty of the Finance Department at Tulane University.
My research interests lay in the intersection of Household Finance and Urban Economics. I use different types of methods to ponder about land and labor.
