About Me...

Hello! I'm an Associate Professor in the  Department of Economics at the University of Concepción. I study environmental and natural resource economics.

I have a PhD in Resource Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I also taught and assisted courses on statistics, cost-benefit analysis, and price theory. I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals, such as Environmental & Resource Economics, Marine Resource Economics, and Aquaculture Economics & Management. After I finished my PhD, I worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow  in the Future Seas Project at the University of California Santa Cruz in collaboration with NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center as part of  The Fisheries Collaborative Program.

In my research, I use empirical and theoretical methods, such as discrete choice models, experimental economics, and time-series econometrics, to analyze common pool resources and fisheries management, fisher behavior, coalition formation, price determination in natural resources markets, and the socio-economic impact of climate change on commercial fisheries.
