About me
I am an applied micro-economist who studies health, management, productivity, and entrepreneurship. My work in low- and middle-income countries focuses on designing and evaluating novel interventions aimed at increasing the human capital of individuals and firms.
My work in Mexico is related to obesity and non-communicable diseases from the perspective of health services research and public policy.
I have 10 years of experience conducting large-scale research in global health and education in Latin America and Africa with institutions including the Mexican National Institute of Public Health, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the World Bank Research Group.
I am a passionate methodologist. My research combines traditional econometric techniques with data-adaptive statistical methods for estimation of causal effects. I am an advocate of using observational data under the lenses of modern causal inference to inform decision-making and policy.
I am currently Research Professor at Tec de Monterrey, México, with a joint appointment at the School of Government and Public Transformation and the Institute for Obesity Research.
