Welcome to my website!

​I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at University of Chile and a Research Affiliate at IZA.  

My research is in labor economics and public economics, with a focus on how social insurance and labor market institutions shape employment, earnings, and access to health insurance. A central theme of my work is understanding how these policies affect families, particularly around childbirth and periods of economic disruption. I study how parental leave, health insurance, and social protection programs influence labor market trajectories, as well as children’s health and educational outcomes. My research combines large-scale administrative and survey data with quasi-experimental methods to study these questions in both developed and developing country contexts.
