Economist

Central Bank of Chile

I am an Economist at the Central Bank of Chile. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

My research focuses on consumption insurance, fertility dynamics, and labor market behavior. I study how households respond to economic shocks and policy changes, with particular attention to the role of cognitive skills, financial constraints, and intergenerational transfers.
