I am an Assistant Professor at the Center of Economic Studies at El Colegio de México.
I have a PhD in Economics from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH).
My specialisations are Behavioural Economics, Ethics, and Experimental Methods.
I am passionate about research and teaching. My goal is to understand and prevent actions that hurt others in the present and the future.
Most importantly, I am Suzana's husband and Sofia's dad.
