Biography
I'm a fourth-year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Nottingham. I study international macroeconomics and monetary economics, with a focus on how currency unions form and function, and how monetary policy should be designed for commodity-exporting economies. My job market paper has been accepted for publication in Oxford Economic Papers (forthcoming).
Before my PhD, I spent a decade as an economist-researcher at Bolivia's Ministry of Economics, where I built and evaluated DSGE/SVAR models, applied spatial econometrics, and used data-science workflows-experience that now sharpens my academic research.
I hold two master's degrees-an MSc in Mathematical Modelling and an MA in Policy Economics-plus Harvard University's Professional Certificate in Data Science.
My work has been recognized with national research awards from the Central Bank of Bolivia (2018, 2024) and appears in outlets such as VoxLACEA and the Central Bank's Revista Análisis. Recent projects span currency-union design, commodity-price shocks, and the macroeconomics of pandemic disruptions.
I'll be on the academic job market in the 2025-26 cycle.
