Current affiliation: University of Michigan
I am a sixth-year Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan. My research interests lie at the intersection of labor economics, family economics, and international trade. I study how household structure, gender norms, and global integration shape labor market outcomes and inequality. My dissertation, “Essays on Labor Mobility, Family Decisions, and Gender Dynamics in the Global Economy,” examines how family decisions and institutional frictions influence mobility, informality, and gender disparities in the labor market across the United States, Ecuador, and Chile. Before my doctoral studies, I worked as a research assistant at the Central Bank of Chile. I hold a B.A. in Social Science, a B.A. in Economics, and an M.A. in Economics from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
