Short Bio

I am originally from Bahía Blanca, Argentina. I studied economics in my country and at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), before receiving my PhD in Economics in 2006 from the University of London under the supervision of Marco Mariotti. During 2007-08, I was Research Fellow at the Wallis Institute of Political Economy of the University of Rochester (US). Since then I’ve been affiliated to the University of Manchester (UK), where I am Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) and Programme Director of the Bachelor in Economic Science. My fields of specialization are microeconomic theory, political economy and social choice. For more information about my academic life, see my Curriculum Vitae.
