Profile:

I am a development economist and a researcher at Banco de la República, Central Bank of Colombia. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Illinois. I am interested in the design and implementation of public policies leading to sustainable improvements in the living conditions. While most of my research has focused on education, I am also interested in income inequality, environmental policy and political economy.
