About Me

I began my training, in fact, at UdeSA, where I obtained a BA (1997) and MA (1998) in Economics, followed by an MPhil in Development Studies (1999) at Darwin College, University of Cambridge. In 2000 I joined the Banco Central de la República Argentina where I was a Senior Analyst at the Research Department. In 2002 I resumed my graduate studies at the University of Oxford, obtaining the MPhil in Economics (2004) at Worcester College, and then the DPhil in Economics (2008) at Nuffield College. At Oxford I had the luck to interact with one of the best social and economic history groups in the world, and to be supervised by one of greatest scholars -and nicest persons- in the profession, Bob Allen. 

 

Following my doctoral degree, I moved to Milan, where joined Università Bocconi. There I lectured for over a decade, while doing research at the Centro Dondena and the Innocenzo Gasparini Institute for Economic Research (IGIER). In 2018 I came back to UdeSA, my alma mater, where I continue doing research while teaching both at undergraduate and graduate level. Since 2019 I also have been directing the Master in Economics, one of the leading graduate programs in Latin America. Over the years I occasionally engaged in other professional activities, mainly as a consultant, to international organisations such as the Inter-American Development Bank (Washington, DC), and NGOs such as the Observatorio de Desarrollo Regional y Promoción Social AC (Mexico).
