Biography
Curious, avid learner and passionate about solving complex problems to shape the future. My research explores: (1) the impact of environmental law and regulation on Green Public Procurement adoption; and (2) the effects of economic agglomeration on urban sustainability.
Before joining the PhD program at IESE Business School I did academic research on macroeconomics and international trade at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (Germany) and at the APEC Study Center, Universidad del Pacífico (Peru).
I am well versed in R, Stata and different economic models (DSGE, NK, IO + trade imperfect competition models).
Blockchain & digital assets enthusiast. In my free time, I participate in the Injective Protocol blockchain project. I am also a regular contributor to Wikipedia's articles on History of Peru. Beyond that I am an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hiking, sailing, surfing and dancing.
