About

I am a Research Economist in the Economics Research Division at Banco de México. I have a Ph.D. in Economics from Brown University, and undergraduate degrees from Universidad del Rosario. My research uses elements from Urban and Labor economics to study the effects of minimum wages and other place-based policies.

I am currently working on:

• Local labor markets in Mexico
• Housing prices in Mexico City
• City-size wage gaps and assortative matching in Mexican labor markets
• The effects of urban infrastructure on mismatch and labor market power
• The effectiveness of hiring credits in North Carolina
• The impacts of health shocks on expenditure in Colombia
• The measurement of job spatial mismatch in Medellín
• How city minimum wages reshape commuting and migration in US cities
