I specialize in Development Economics and Applied Microeconomics. I am involved in projects examining how different types of of property right ownership in rural areas impact agricultural productivity, investments, and sustainability. My current research interests include: the effects of civil conflict on the formation of political beliefs; empirical studies to understand the reasons why indigenous minorities tend to be the poorest individuals of Latin America; and the determinants of household credit. In the FLA, I teach development economics, economics of poverty, and introductory microeconomics.
